It can be increased, but you habe to restart the server for
the change to take effect.

It is not a good idea to increase the setting without thought.
There is a Wiki article about it:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Number_Of_Database_Connections

If you need more than 100 connections, consider the use of a
connection pool.
