s/rotate/reconfigure then :) In my mind one is a subset of the other.

I did. IIRC the winbindd is fully capable of handling multiple
overlapping requests, and each NTLM helper is *solely* a thunk layer
between squid's format and the winbindd *state*.
ASCII art time, 3 requests:
Multiple helpers:
/------1-helper------\
squid-*-------2-helper-------* winbindd [state1, state2, state3]
\------3-helper------/
One helper:
squid-*------1-helper-------* winbindd [state1, state2, state3]
