The group helpers have a ttl setting that will determine how long they will
cache the results of a group lookup. Once that period expires, it should
detect the changes in your Windows domain group memberships.

Note that the ACLs used with the group helpers are explicitly configured to
use a particular group or list of groups when checking membership - if you
add a new group and do not update squid.conf, the group helpers will see
it, but Squid will not use it as part of its access controls.

Post your full squid.conf (without comments or blank lines), and give more
detail (perhaps a single concrete example) about the behavior you are
observing.
