Yeah, I was hoping that smtp_accept_reserve would hold a subset of the
connection slots available from smtp_accept_max and allow fill them with
connections from hosts in smtp_reserve_hosts.

Totally not how things work. :-)

In the end, I set up a second listener on a non-standard port,
specifically to accept large numbers of connections from a local peer on
a private network.
