Re: [squid-users] Concurrent Connection Limit

I tried your suggestion and double checked my server just now. The
server hits 1030'ish total network sockets and then squid stopped
responding to port 80 [as if its network soctet limit is 1024].

File descriptors would be if we had cache objects writing as fast as
network sockets (we dont), but i did up the limit on file descriptiors
to 2048 to 'test' to see if that became the new magic number to halt
port 80 traffic, and it still locked up at 1030 im afraid. What else
can be the problem?

Thank you!
