So, I could just do yum upgrade squid?

It's better to upgrade. Since I upgraded things started working
properly, like external ACLs with ldap_groups in Active Directory.
No more problems for me.

I trashed my existing cache, so I would not know if it will work.
Don't compile it from SRC ... get the src RPM e.g
yum install rpm-build openjade linuxdoc-tools openldap-devel pam-devel
openssl-devel httpd rpm-devel
wget
http://www.jur-linux.com/rpms/el-updates/5Client/SRPMS/squid-3.1.0.15-2.el5.src.rpm
rpm -ivh squid-3.1.0.15-2.el5.src.rpm
rpmbuild -bb squid.spec
Looks like they have 3.1.4 in there too. Either one.
All the best to you :)

WIll upgrading to 3.1.6 have any performance

Over 2.6 definitely.
A small bit in speed, and a LOT in HTTP/1.1 protocol support which amounts
to streamlining and bandwidth.
Can I leave the existing cache in place and config files or
will they be =
overwritten during the make commands?
Only existing binaries and documentation gets replaced.
Existing cache is not touched until squid starts. Then some pieces get
upgraded during normal operation.
Existing config is not touched, new config files should get added as/if
needed.
