Underscores are not allowed in Domain Names anyway, so I am not sure why 
you would want to enable them.( I read and agree with what is said about 
rfc 1033 )

If you do want to rebuild on EL3, get the .src.rpm ( 
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/whitebox/3.0/en/updates/SRPMS/squid-2.5.STABLE3-6.3E.2.src.rpm 
seems to be the latest one)

unpack the src.rpm, look at the SPEC file, add the configure options 
there and build from that.

I am not near a EL3 machine at the moment, so cant really give more 
specific instructions as to exactly what to change and where.If you have 
any experience building packages, it should be trivial.
