[squid-users] Running out file descriptors. Can I increase it at compile time ?

Hi People:

        I'm using Squid 2.3.STABLE4 supplyed by RedHat 7.1, configured
as transparent proxy,
which is running out file descriptors as seen at cache.log file:

| WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors

        I´ve increased configured /proc/sys/fs/file-max to support
32768 open files, but nothing changed.
        Looking around, I saw a interesting log in cache.log:

Starting Squid Cache version 2.3.STABLE4 for i386-redhat-li
nux-gnu...
Process ID 2710
With 1024 file descriptors available

        Which obviously tell me that I have 1024 FD's :-) So, using
cachemgr.cgi FileDescriptor's report it shows:

  Active file descriptors:
File Type Tout Nread * Nwrite * Remote Address Description
---- ------ ---- -------- -------- ---------------------
------------------------------
0 Log 0 0 0 /var/log/squid/cache.log
....
....
932 Socket 12 0* 1494 66.35.229.104.80
http://66.35.229.104/bannerserver/bannerserver.dll?GetDL

        So I've got 933 actives FDs, very near max number: 1024.

        My question is: Can I increase max number of file descriptors
available at compile time ?? I mean, some macro or variable at source code ?

thanks a lot,
bests regards
