squid parent proxy problems

Hi all,

I have a squid proxy on my side of a WAN, trying to use an internet
connected squid on the other side as a parent proxy.

On my proxy, I am using ntlm authentication, while on the parent proxy
I have configure that the child proxy does not need authentication.

It doesn't work properly! Most pages don't load correctly, mainly with
missing images, and also if I click refresh in a browser I just get
instant TCP_DENIED - although If I wait a few seconds then click
refresh again it will attempt to load the page again.

Is there a problem mixing ntlm and basic authentication in a cache
hierarchy ? (the old ' two TCP_DENIED for every request' problem ?) If
I disable authentication on my child proxy, everything works fine

Thanks,

Craig

Oops! it was my fault - I had been messing around with maxconn
settings, and had too few connections allowed !
