Whoops. Try...

external_acl_type session ttl=14400 negative_ttl=0 children=1 concurrency=200 %SRC /usr/lib/squid3/squid_session -t 14400

...which will send the client IP (instead of the URI being requested)
for the session manager to use as a key.

It's based on whatever you send to it. In my initial suggestion, I used
the URI as the key. I forgot that we really only need to send the
requested URI to the deny_info page.

Probably not. But you have the source to the helper, so perhaps you can
commission such a tool...
