Actually, thats the goal for it. Simply forcing a revalidation every x
minutes, to track 'on' vs 'not on' status via the authenticator is
wasteful - and adds overhead. IMO squid should either keep the data
semi-persistent a la the swaplog, or have a dedicated helper it can tell
about users changing state - new user logs on, user inactive for the
timeout period.
Haven't thought it all through yet however.
