No, it does not. How often Squid perfoms ident lookups depends on * How often the client opens new connections to Squid. The ident protocol operates per connection so each new connection requires a new ident lookup. (no IDENT is not a protocol for identifying who is logged on to a specific IP, there may be multiple users on the same IP) * The ident lookup is skipped for the connection if ident_lookup_access is deny and no ident type acl is required in http_access processing.
