I run some busy installed-from-source squid v3.1 on Lenny To get more filedescriptors I did this : * configure with --with-filedescriptors=65536 * Modify the init.d startup script ( which I stole from the packaged squid version ) so that it includes "ulimit -n 65535" To check if your tweaks worked, look in cache.log after starting squid. In my case it reports "With 65535 file descriptors available" Hope that helps!
