[squid-users] squid asking for authentication repeatedly

[Paul Hackmann]

Has anyone had the instance where the proxy will ask the user to
authenticate several times as they are browsing the web?  I have been
seeing this as a random occurrence for some of the users on the server.  It
will pop up a login prompt in the browser repeatedly for a minute or two.
Then it will settle down and be fine for hours.  I'm trying to track it
down, but I can't find anything amiss.  The access logs haven't shown
anything unusual.  I am using basic authentication with the proxy settings
set in firefox.  Is this something that a spike in traffic on the server
could cause?  Anybody have any suggestions?  The server is linux based.
