Hi Amos First of all, thanks for your support. Secondly, That a good news about the re-compilation not needed anymore ;) Finally, I have had the following instruction on my SQUID init's script: ulimit -HS 256000 but unfortunatly, I still not able to see a value bigger than 1024 on the SQUID starting logs, is that normal? I think it because I don't have any warning regarding the FD on my logs.

There is some bug as yet untraced breaking the max_filedescriptors squid.conf option from working without ulimit. For now you still need to change squid.conf and run ulimit before start/restart/reconfigure to raise the number Squid sees available from the OS.
