May be, the helper architecture could be changed such that a parent process creates a pool of network connections that children use. Thus, limiting the number of sockets being used at any moment. And squid controls the number of those parent processes.
That would mean making Squid aware of the internal workings of the helper. Namely that it uses connections to a specific server, port and which transport. One of the major points of flexibility with helpers is that this kind of thing is kept completely separate from Squid.
The URL-rewrite API being used by charcoal has the purpose of altering the URI which Squid fetches content for a client from. Doing access control through it instead of the access control API (external ACL helper) is kind of borked from the start.
