When using only ntlm authentication (commented the line of Kerberos authentication), the load is no more than 2, which results in a fast response of proxy server to users. CPU utilization is always low. No swap utilization by kernel. In my environment test, with 20 users I always get fast responses. The problem occurs when I put the server in production. What is happening with Kerberos authentication ? -- "Computers are like air-conditioners. They stop working when you open Windows." BillieGDJoe
