Now you've got me wondering. On the file descriptors I'm a little more
conservative:

File descriptor usage for squid:
        Maximum number of file descriptors: 4096
        Largest file desc currently in use: 791
        Number of file desc currently in use: 700
        Files queued for open: 0
        Available number of file descriptors: 3396
        Reserved number of file descriptors: 100
        Store Disk files open: 0

However since you mention kernel, I forgot to say in my original post
that I'm running a RH7.0 2.2.19-7.0.8smp kernel on my RH7.1 proxies. I
did this because I was having so many issues with the 2.4.x kernel
blowing up. However I'm most likely going to have to revisit this
decision in light of some fixes to routing config, etc that have been
made since switching to the 2.2.19 kernel (I did this a few months ago.)
 It sounds like this older kernel could be my limitting factor?
