Alan Cox ac patch set includes all the kernel changes you need. The rest
is "runtime" configurable.

The next steps is to

1. Edit /usr/include/bits/types.h to define _FD_SETSIZE to at least the
number of filedescriptors you need to support.

2. Run (as root) "ulimit -HSn NNNN" where NNNN is again the number of
filedescriptors you need to support

3. Reconfigure and build squid (cd squid-2.2.STABLE4 ; ./configure ... ;
make clean ; make install) while running in a shell where you have
raised the filedescriptor limits using ulimt (step 2).

4. Change your Squid startup script to set the filedescriptor limit
using ulimit like in step 2 above. You also need to tune various options
in /proc (at least /proc/sys/fs/file-max, /proc/sys/fs/inode-max and
/proc/sys/net/ip_local_port_range, possibly others)

5. Start Squid. Verify that it reports the new limit in cache.log and
cachemgr.
