I have four squid-3.1.6 instances with IDENTICAL config, clustered
using ldirector. One of those proxies is using many more FDs:

squidclient -p 8080 -l 127.0.0.1 mgr:info | grep 'file descri'

        Maximum number of file descriptors: 8192
        Available number of file descriptors: 3430
        Reserved number of file descriptors: 100

The other three:
        Maximum number of file descriptors: 8192
        Available number of file descriptors: 6500
        Reserved number of file descriptors: 100

        Maximum number of file descriptors: 8192
        Available number of file descriptors: 6691
        Reserved number of file descriptors: 100

        Maximum number of file descriptors: 8192
        Available number of file descriptors: 6653
        Reserved number of file descriptors: 100

What are the filedescriptors used for?
