[squid-users] Proxy Authentification with multiple parallel squids

Hi,

i am using mulitple parallel squid-caches (2.4Stable6) with proxy auth.
The requests are distributed among the caches by the browser via
proxy.pac mechanism (e.g. .com to first squid, .de to second, etc.).
All squids share the same password database and have the same relam for
proxy-auth configured.

My problem is that every proxy shows the password dialog popup when
first used. This is somewhat anoying to the users as they have to enter
their passwords multiple times (older netscapes cannot even save the
passwords...).

I tried to set visible_hostname to the same value on all squids but this
didnt help.

How can i convince the browser to use the same password for all of my
proxies with only asking the user once?

Many thanks for any idea.

Best Regards
