So far it doesn't look like your NTLM helpers are overloaded at all -
everything after the first 6 are idle. Suggestion: when it breaks, save the
Cache Manager page as a file. That will capture all the stats and a time
stamp. You can then post links to the files for us to check them out.

So far I'm sticking by my original hunch - that the problem is the PDC
taking too long to respond, and not with Squid itself. But we'll see what
the numbers reveal.

I'm not an expert on NT4, but those specs seem ok to serve 1900 domain users
- assuming the server is JUST a PDC. What kind of network connection does it
have?\
