Dont just restart a server without making sure the traffic is fine.. since you are using WCCP I would suggest you to share the setup and then we can try to help you more later on if needed. If the setup is right and in place there should be no problem to find the right place like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/672749 at ubuntu as a starter. and then notice that there are other parts of linux that apply ulimits: http://serverfault.com/questions/235356/open-file-descriptor-limits-conf-setting-isnt-read-by-ulimit-even-when-pam-limi I do not like to redirect but it seems to me like the best choice now. Also there is a basic assumption that you want to find the source of the problem and not just make it work?? I would assume that you setup your WCCP correctly. DO you use them in tunnel or route mode? in route mode you can easily get into a complex situation that you have a routing endless loop(until X TTL). But I assume the problem was solved already??
