[squid-users] Two proxies & authentication

Hello Henrik,

I'm using LDAP authentication with one-time passwords. We have 2 proxy
servers that are load-balanced with the sharp proxy super script. When
the first request hits a proxy the users has to authenticate, when the
next request hits the other proxy server the user has to authenticate
one more time.
I'm searchig for a solution to bypass the second authentication.

Thats basically correct.
But the sharp super proxy script hashes the URL to make sure same URL
are always routed to the same proxy server. This provides no duplicated
caching. I think this is a nice benfit.

So I would like to ask if there is any way to bypass the second authentication
*without* doing load-balance by user (source) or load-balance DNS.

Regards,
Michael
