Hi, I have a case where a squid provides caching services for a multi-user Unix system which has identd enabled. I'd like squid to log the ident value of a user with the access in the access log. I have already accomplished this (it's rather easy to do), but I am concerned about load issues this might impose on the multi-user system and on the network since the amount of TCP connections on the network is neatly doubled. Is it possible to have squid send some kind of identification to the browser so that an ident lookup is only necessary for the first http request in a session and the client can be identified by the bit sent back by the browser for the rest of the session? Or am I chasing a phantom here and the load imposed by the ident-lookups (which includes TCP session building and teardown) is negligible? Which other solutions are possible?
