thank you guys for the great help! 

i never get responses from the linux community as fast as this. one of the
things people from the squid camp pointed out in FreeBSD is that it has
more file descriptors than linux -- and i've seen it work under heavy
conditions (i.e. wcarchive.cdrom.com, -- this has also helped in our
decision).

until next time!
