Please keep the thread on-list... not least because direct mail from me
to you bounces off of some annoying spam-manual-check, which I don't
have the time to fiddle around with.

2.4 is very old - and no longer supported by the squid developers,
except for commercial clients. For free support and troubleshooting, as
well as a plethora of bugfixes - including security sensitive ones - I
urge you to upgrade to 2.5 latest stable.

Kernel ephemeral ports, possible other kernel settings depending on the
RH defaults, user fd limits, rebuild squid. There are documents on this
on the web - such as Joe Coopers tuning squid whitepaper...

I wouldn't assume that your problem is number of concurrent connections
- follow the FAQ guidelines for submitting a squid bug report, and
you'll gather information that you can probably use to identify the
cause.
