You need to set the configure option --with-maxfd=NNN (or alternatively
the ulimit) when compiling Squid, and also raise the ulimit before
starting Squid (best done in your init script starting Squid).

There is no need to set the system wide fs.file-max sysctl limit. The
default is much larger, and setting it this low will only cause
problems. (it's the system wide total limit of all processes, not the
per-process limit)

You do NOT, repeat NOT, need to change any system headers. This has not
been needed for many many years.
