 [Nataniel Klug] So Eliezer, I don't think I have 155k connections. Most of
them are FIN_WAIT1 (about 35~45k). I have 1000 pppoe clients behind this
squid box so even if each of them had 50 connections, I would have 50k. I
think closing really fast can solve the problem. I set it to close on 5
minutes and I will make a try right now.

Att,

Nataniel Klug
