Since client connecting to a single port? So you'd get 1 client IP, 65k client ports, connecting to 1 destination IP on 1 port.

"Eventually we got it working by using four servers each running a single instance of ab in addition to the one running our Ruby process"

So 4 source ips. Guessing they were just bumping into a (configurable) max open file setting.
