I have no idea, but I'll go dig around the squid pages and look for that
info. I suspect the changes are probably about the same as what I've
already done.
(Yep, assuming the same thing you're referring to are the instructions
in the FAQ about increasing "file-max" and "inode-max" via the procfs
interface.)

That scares me. :)
Then either we're "the special case" for which it all just breaks,
nobody else is running LVS with lots of servers which would require
increasing file-max or inode-max, or we're pushing the limits of what
the code is capable, which makes me sad since it really isn't doing all
that much...
