Very unlikely. Users outside your office won't be part of the same
domain, so SSPI won't work at all and then it should work as before.

I've increased the retry limit in revision 5339 (also backported to 1.3.x).
Can you please try the next nightly build (the 1.3.x folder).

Oh yes, please do! In that case, you should write directly to the
Subversion dev list, not the user list.

This looks good. Maybe you can try once with the
SSPIOfferBasic On
changed to
SSPIOfferBasic Off
and check the apache log if that makes any difference.
