[squid-users] Upgrading SQUID from 3.1.6 to 3.1.23

Hi,
 
We have a squid/dansguardian configuration here, under debian 2.6.32. The Debian distribution do not have any version of squid greater than 3.1.6. So I took squid's 3.1.23 sources and build it (successfully), using the same ./configure options than current squid3 -v give.
We also use ntlm_auth and wbinfo.pl to authenticate users.
 
My question: can I simply:
-stop SQUID3/dansguardian
-swap binary (/usr/sbin/squid3) with the new version
-start SQUID3/dansguardian ?
 
Is there something to put somewhere else ? Helpers ?
 
Will it work like that ? If something fail, can I simply get the old squid3(.1.6) binary ?
 
Furthermore, upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2 (and may be 3.3) is a difficult task ? Is it worth ?
 
Thanks for help
