[squid-users] 2 Questions - Authentication Caching and Redirectors

OS: Red Hat 7.2
Squid: 2.4 Stable 4

Scenario 1: Squid configured to use NCSA auth with authenticate_TTL 1 hour
and authenticate_ip_ttl 300 seconds
Problem 1: Squid requests authentication for each browser the user spawns.
Question 1: Can Squid be configured to remember authentication credentials
for a given user so the user is not prompted for authentication every time
they spawn a new browser?

Scenario 2: Squid redirector configured to use proprietary content
filtration engine
Problem 2: Banner adds on sites that pass URL content filtration test may be
inappropriate (ex: Banner add from casino.net).
Question 2: Can squid be configured to use multiple redirectors in a serial
fashion?

Thanks in advance for your input...
