Wanted to number of the outgoing connections/requests from my Server currently

Hello Everyone,

As per my knowledge, the value of the number of outgoing connections (I mean external requests to Web Services and/or external XML Files) is managed through a property called MaxConnection in ConnectionManagement section, in System.Net of Machine.Config.
By default, the value is 12 * (Number of CPU) -- for a particular machine, using the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821268
My hardware configuration has 8 CPUs, calculating it, I have in all 96 requests.
So, for more outgoing requests, I should change/increase the above property, (i.e. MaxConnection) and I have checked that. On updating the property, I could see the change in the value, when I analyzed the dump of my application.

But, my problem is, I want to know, the exact value of outgoing connections from my Server at any given particular time. Is there any Performance Counter or any other way to know that?

Please let me know. I have searched a lot, but was unable to find it.
