> Why would it be doing this then "always".  Meaning, whether there is a command pending or not.  It appears to be constantly re-authenticating even during 'dormant' periods -- meaning no client is accessing. 

The proxy server periodically sends “OPTIONS” commands to the back-end server - as a ‘keep alive’ to ensure that it keeps the session alive.  Apparently the back-end server is authenticating each of these.
