You should be able to use normal ulimit style settings, Limiting open files count (a socket is an open file).
Yes, you can do this, but it will degrade your relay (and hurt the network) because it will unpredictably hang up on requests.
There is a note in the manual regarding socket use: "The DirPort option should also not be used if TCP buffers are scarce. The cached directory requests consume additional sockets which exacerbates the problem."
If that doesnt work, it looks like you are left with reducing sockets by setting a lower BandwidthRate, value thereof to be figured out by trial and error.
