I am more concerned with having more connections than needed on the 
server... specially as the number of clients increase.

Thanks to Darren Pilgrim I decreased sysctl vfs.nfs.iodmaxidle  to 30 
instead of 120. That way those nfs client programs will only wait 30 seconds 
of idle time before dissapearing.
  

I am also considering setting the upper limit for clients to 10.

Thanks. Will try that on a test machine.
