Do you have reasons to believe that your installation of Squid or "oops"
can handle 140 req/sec or even 400 req/sec? Connection reset by peer may
indicate that the proxy (or the OS on the proxy box) is overloaded and
cannot handle the traffic.

I would suggest creating a "boiling frog" workload with request rate
starting from 10/sec and going up to 300/sec within 2 hours. This may
help you to approximate the request rate your proxies can support.
