The helper is called each time Squid sees a new username:password combination, or if the previous results have expired (auth cache expiry time is set by auth_param basic credentialsttl=NN parameter, default 2 hours) > My thought is that our LAN users, since they are never forced to authenticate, are not effected by the children parameter but I wanted to double-check. If LAN users are allowed access without requesting authentication then Squid naturally won't query the helpers either as there is no login:password combination to verify. Regards Henrik
