 Some of these will be too small to be accepted by clients.

+The TLS protocol does not negotiate an acceptable size for this; clients tend
+to hard-drop connections if what is offered by the server is unacceptable,
+whether too large or too small, and there's no provision for the client to
+tell the server what these constraints are.  Thus, as a server operator, you
+need to make an educated guess as to what is most likely to work for your
+userbase.

+Some known size constraints suggest that a bit-size in the range 2048 to 2236
+is most likely to maximise interoperability.  The upper bound comes from
+applications using the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) library, which
+used to set its &`DH_MAX_P_BITS`& upper-bound to 2236.  This affects many
+mail user agents (MUAs). The lower bound comes from Debian installs of Exim4
