Setting "half_closed_clients off" considerably reduses the filedescriptor
usage by Squid.
Leaving it in the default "on" setting may cause excessively high
filedescriptor usage if a lot of clients non-responsive sites etc.

Having a DNS server nearby defenitely helps. There is not a big difference
in having the DNS server on the LAN or on the Squid server itself.

Indeed. How much depends on the redirector used.

The guideline for memory usage found in the Squid FAQ chapter on memory
usage is quite good.
