we are using GET. to mimimize the number of smb-logons, we made 
a subclass of the filter which checks if if the user's session
has already been authenticated. if not, the authentication takes place 
(call the filter-method of the superclass), else nothing happens.

but if the frequency of authentication requests is high,
the smb-session will never be idle (depending on the period 
of time).

what about closing the transport if a configurable
number of user-sessions has been reached?
