All I can say is that it's working for everyone whos tried it!

Seriously we _need_ some brave souls who are willing to try it in their

from development to production.

For the record Francesco (kinkie) is running some absurdly large number of
users (kinkie _how many was it?_) off the 'fake' squid NTLM code.
