Right; and what happens when you disable authentication in Squid and polygraph? Does it cope fine? Samba/Winbind are known to not handle high authentication transaction rates. Well, 200/sec isn't "high" to me.. If it works fine without NTLM authentication but fails when you try using it, then I'd point fingers at Samba/Winbind. There's a hard-coded default of 200 concurrent "connections" to winbind in the winbind source; I thought they were going to improve that. Anyway, if its fine without NTLM auth but slow with it enabled I'd go ask the Samba team about it. In the meantime, there's a workaround - you can enable uhm, authenticate_ip_shortcircuit_ttl and authenticate_ip_shortcircuit_access.
