If I'm reading this right, you are saying that when you initially start squid on server 1, it has problems with some user's authentication, but after you run a reconfig everything works just fine. If this is the case, I would venture a guess that you might have two different squid.conf files. One is read on startup (specified by /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid) and one is read when you run the squid -k reconfig (specified by how you compiled squid). But this is just a guess, based on interpretation... Chris
