You know: I need some help on NTLM authentication ... :)
How can stateful helpers, like NTLM ones, manage multiple requests?
Is squid<->helper protocol going to be changed too?

Can I ask to include also the external_acl script (ntmulti_group.pl)?
It can be useful to check group membership also against multiple trusted
domains.
AFAIK you cannot add external trusted NT users to a global NT domain, and
present helpers can check only global NT domains. So checking multiple
global groups on multiples PDCs can help.

Thanks again.
