Hi

It might be that Squid is establishing a lot of NAT connections and keeping
then open even after they have been serviced. See teh output of cat
/proc/net/ip_conntrack, if it is a large file, or it shows many connections
as "established" when they should have been dropped, it'll make sense to
increase teh value of ip_conntrack_max in
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max.
