[squid-users] file descriptors leak

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Hey Andre,

There are couple things to the picture.
It's not only squid that is the "blame".
It depends on what your OS tcp stack settings are.
To verify couple things you can try to use the netstat tool.
run the command "netstat -nto" to see what is the timers status.
You can then see how long will a new connection stay in the established 
state.
It might be the squid settings but if the client is not there it could 
be because of some tcp tunable kernel settings.

In any case a Linux machine can handle up to ... very very high number 
of open connections idle or not so in a case you are starting to run out 
of them try to upper the limit by 50% or even 100% and monitor your 
machine netstat for abnormal too long connections.

All The Bests,
Eliezer
