Wow, that is worded badly :)

What it means is that only one client can connect to each connection
daemon at a time.  But, you can configure any number of connection
daemons to run.  The connections="X" parameter in the sqlrelay.conf file
indicates how many connection daemons are started, and by extension, how
many clients can connect simultaneously.  If connections="1" is set in
the config file, then only 1 client could connect at a time.

I'll reword that part of the docs.
