[squid-users] max_filedesc increase in squid-3.0.STABLE16-1.el5.i386.rpm

Hi,

Trying to upgrade file descriptors from 1024 to 2048. When I try to
add the max_filedesc 2048 to /etc/squid/squid.conf and restart squid
It is saying:
2011/03/29 12:09:34| cache_cf.cc(346) squid.conf:41 unrecognized: 'max_filedesc'
2011/03/29 12:09:34| Initializing https proxy context
Starting squid: [FAILED]

I have been reading that squid needs to be compiled with the
/configure. --with-filedescriptors option, but I installed from a
pre-built rpm.
Is the solution just to upgrade to squid-3.1.8-1.el5.i386.rpm?

Thanks in advance!!
