I'm not sure what is going on here, but my clients tend to get denied twice for Every request. I would expect this for the first time the client requested A resource, not on every subsequent request. The log below shows this activity.
Just an effect of the Microsoft brain damage when they designed the NTLM over HTTP authentication protocol.
see http://devel.squid-cache.org/ntlm/ for details if interested.
Why on earth they dit not model the NTLM over HTTP authentication scheme along the lines of Digest I do not know, but probably they just took the easy path and made a quick hack.
I'm unsure if the max_ntlm_challenge_lifetime Has anything to do with it.
No, it is only related to the amount of queries sent to the helper for the same traffic. Traffic Squid<->clients is the same.
