User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040405 Firefox/0.8

It would be nice if the NLTM authentication would pass credentials to different
servers without prompting the user everytime. In a corporate network with, lets
say server1.internal and server2.internal up to server XX.internal, the users
would be prompted for the same password pair XX times whereas when using MSIE
the would not be prompted at all. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  

1 time is probably a must, but then it should be possible to configure Firefox
to just pass it the credentials on to every server ( probably only in a
private-nonroutable net ) that supports NTLM.
