Try it, it won't.
There are known limits with ulimits tho, which probably Bertl meant by
suggesting rlimits.

Yes.
Look:
# vserver sig enter
...
open files (-n) 1024
sig:/# ulimit -n 10240
bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
you can only lower your limits, so 'ulimit -n 10' would work.

Wrong:
eyck_at_maja:/etc/vservers/gucio$ cat ulimits/nofile
20048
maja:/# vserver gucio enter
[root_at_gucio /]# ulimit -n
20048

probably.

infinity, AFAIK, same as unlimited.

I didn't know there is such a thing as 'soft' and 'hard' limits when it
comes to resource limits,
