[squid-users] redirect_children and Squid 3

I'm running Squid 3.0STABLE10 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 and I noticed
the following message in my cache.log file;

2008/11/16 15:05:07| client_side.cc(2701) WARNING! Your cache is running
out of filedescriptors

I was doing a performance test using Apache's "ab" tool at the time the
message was generated.

I did a Google search on the message and found this mailing list thread:

http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200402/0560.html

My question is: is the redirect_children option supported in Squid 3?

Are the suggestions for resolving the issue causing the "Your cache is
running out of filedescriptors" message applicable to Squid 3? The
suggestions are:

*) Setting /ulimit -HSn 8192/ when compiling and starting Squid:

*) Turning off half_closed_clients, server_persistent_connections, and
client_persistent_connections:

*) Increase the setting of the redirect_children tag:

Thanks!

Peace...
