static (inside,outside) tcp external_address 21000 GPS_SERVER 21000 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

Does having the netmask set to 255.255.255.255 limit connectivity to the internal device to one connection at a time? And if so does setting it to 0.0.0.0 allow unlimited connections?
 
The 255.255.255.255 defines the translation for a single host. The first "0" after the mask stands for the max connections allowed for the translation. 0 will allow unlimited. The second "0" is for half open connections. Generally you dont want this to be unlimited if it is serving traffic from the internet.
