This is not a protocol issue, but an internal server implementation issue.  If 
you feel you need to handle so many connections that a single computer cannot 
handle the load, then the answer is to distribute the load across many 
computers.  Look for server software that supports clustering, such as 
ejabberd, or one that supports edge servers such as jabberd+jadc2s.
