[squid-users] transparent proxy and authentication

I have some Idea about transparent proxy with authentication but I don�t
sure it makes sense or not, may be some one can craft this.

I�m using backbone switch to route HTTP request to transparent squid and it
works fine. I know that no way (by now) to automatically pop up authen
screen for routed users while I�m using transparent proxy. But suppose I
have some firewall box or some thing that do firewalling routing and
Authentication placed between backbone and proxy then set the policy says
�whoever want to access the proxy server need to be authen on this URL
first�. Is this the possible solution ? and if it ,which software or
firewall can do that especially open source :)
