File Descriptors and squid

Recently everyones been going on about the FD limit problem with
squid, this problem has recently occured to our proxy server.

I have obtained the patch, applied it successfully I believe,
changed the limit to 3000 whilst doing make menuconfig, recompiled
the kernel, installed the new kernel and rebooted.

Now what do I need to change next? I've picked up bits and pieces from
various emails but am unsure what exactly I should be doing.

Would someone kindly be able to post a short description of what to do
next, or where I can find the information I need.

Thanks,
