Can you explain with other words what you are seeing? I am not sure I
understand what you try to say here..

What is "number of redirector clients"?

What is a "zombie socket"?

If you see that the number of redirector children to Squid increases and
that their parent process is not Squid then your redirector is broken.

Is there anything relevant said in cache.log?
