Devin, I thnik You don't understand me.

The computers are indentical, and runs as proxy servers, but in different
environment (networks). 

The problem is, that squid does not get more than 1064 file descriptors on
the second machine, on the same configuration.

I don't understand this...why in kernel is set 16424 files, that can be
open, but squid found only 4136, or 1064 ?

thanks
