socket limit?

Hi

a little big cuestion. I'd like put on heavy load a big-big Squid Cache
for our organization (aprox. 13.000 users) with Linux Red Hat 5.0
(kernel 2.0.3 if I don`t be wrong), but a mate tell me that are a Linux
socket limit to 256 concurrent open socket and Solaris have 1024. It
means only 125 concurrent client's sessions open on Linux. Some body
knows if that is true?. Whit that limit (256), it's posible fall in
troubles?

 thanks in advance
