By client, I meant browser - and it does!

So during the time between squid sending the browser a 407 (or checking the
details from the auth header) where does it store the list of client
addresses or
whatever (authenticating programs) that are ok? Where does squid store this
and how ?

Thanks for your redirector idea earlier.
