Thanks Chris, You solve my auth crypt problem, how ever, still have a doubt about a single-authentication in a squid farm. You tell: "As long as all the proxies use the same data source to authenticate against, no extra work will be required. HTTP is a stateless protocol, so the browser passes authentication details along with every request that should require it." So this mean that the horrible login box asking user/password will apear just once??? I told about using squid with domain passwords so single-sign-on domain capability will be great, but they dont want to use domain passwords, so this is not an option.
