Yes 3.0 does not support that. Please try 3.1. Which is available on
J.Skalas pages too http://people.redhat.com/jskala/squid/

It should be enough to run "ulimit -HSn 123" (where 123 is the number of
filedescriptors you want).

This needs to be run before building squid 3.0 and also before each time
