If you are expanding your farm, you may be sure to let clients use new servers when their applications are deployed, not before. in this way, clients are happy.
You must be sure that your backend lets new connections!
To fix it, use AWS :)

I assume this question is about the increasing the number of application servers. If so then it depends on what kind of processing is the App servers are doing. If they are connecting to some backend datastore, then it comes down to how does the backend db scales compared to the increased number of App servers. Will they be able to handle more open database connections ?
