ok, so we are only guessing, but there could be anywhere from 1000-2000
concurrent users during peak times. a limit of 6000 FDs would not be
unreasonable then?

before starting squid (su from root) i set nofiles to unlimited, then
start squid. however, pfiles shows:

brian@ghsl011ptlge$ sudo pfiles 6369 | head
6369: (squid) -D
  Current rlimit: 512 file descriptors

this doesn't look like it's doing what i want. how can i set this up so
that squid gets the proper number of FDs?

thanks!!
