Thanks for your response. So the squid server simply caches the response from the external program internally based on the variables sent to the program? So next time it will check the user it simple does a lookup in its own cache based on the 3 values and returns a cached response?
Correct.
I am working on an extension to allow the helper to specify that certain arguments was not relevant to the decision, but this is not yet quite finished. See http://devel.squid-cache.org/ for more info. This has been used to implement ident based client station authentication and a few other schemes.
