As far as I am aware this will not work at 1024 filedescriptors?

I have put a page on the Web for this at http://www.linux.org.za/tweak.html

This has been working on our cache server for weeks without problems (except
for a power problem), and opens and closes in the region of 3/4 -> 1 million
filedescriptors per day.

Enjoy!
