Well, we've no further problems. Except one or the other glitch in
ntlm-helper/squid communication. I alread sent you logs. I've no clue
about these. I cannot really beleive how this communication can be
disturbed. Or is it squid just forwarding some nonsense it got from from
IE?

Anyway, if there is a more performant version using the a member server
authentication scheme I'm happy to give it a try (though there are no
noticable performance problems with one ntlm-proc right now).

To make myself more clear: With the current default config (60sec
houskeeping, 1800 challenge refresh) & only 1 ntlm proc I've no problems,
which is currently enough for my needs ;-) .

Michael.
