[squid-users] re-directing an ip range

In regards to my problem, would it be crazy to schedule a crontab job to
run squid -k reconfigure every half hour. what would the implications of
doing so be?

Hello all,

I have posted this question before, tried suggestions but with no luck. I
hope someone can help

The problem is:

We have two squid proxy servers, running on RH8

students-proxy - 10.1.1.4
staff-proxy - 10.1.4.18

1 - All staff except for a specific IP range should be prompt to validate
when accessing the UQ databases.
2 - All students should not be prompt - the students proxy is doing NAT
from the firewall and is allow access onto the UQ databases. To make this
sound clear - anyone going out on 10.1.1.4 (students-proxy) will not be
asked to validate.

I have configured the staff-proxy (10.1.4.18) to route requests coming from
the IP range to the students-proxy (10.1.1.4)
It routes for sometime, then stops to route, at which time I run squid -k
reconfigure, and starts to route again.
Very inconsistent. When it stops routing, it allows everything to go
direct, and therefore all staff including those from the exclusion list are
prompt for a password.

I have included my entire squid.conf file - if someone can give my any
clues it will be highly appreciated.
