The server is a HP DL360G5 (2x Xeon Dual 1.6 GHz, RAM 8 GB, HP Smart
Array - RAID 1).

Is there any way to increase SQUID_MAXFD from 8192 to 65536, so I can
try using the sugested number of url_rewriter processes?

Squid 2.6: --with-maxfd=65536
Squid 3.x: --with-filedescriptors=65536

Be sure your OS can handle a single process with that many FD though. Using these options overrides the automatic build detections AFAIK.

You can also use ulimit while compiling (I don't know the details).


With SQUID_MAXFD=8192 I got lots of "comm_open: socket failure: (24)
Too many open files" if url_rewriter is set higher than 200 (roughly).

Thanks for any help,
Marcio.

For our info, you say you are handling thousands of users;
  and what release of squid is it?
  what request/sec load is your squid maxing out at?
