[squid-users] max number of file descriptors ?

We're running squid-2.6.STABLE21-6 on RHEL5, and are running
running into the max number of file descriptors. I have increased
it to 64K, but we're still touching the limit.. The server load
is not high, but we do have many clients (about 170000 today
according to calamaris) that are polling the same slow service
often.

So, is there any reason not to raise --with-maxfd and max_filedesc ?
Are there any upper limits/recommendations for these ?
