My 2p worth - we currently use Squid as a forward proxy for about 3000
users and were using it with RADIUS authentication as a reverse proxy
for providing external access to some of our systems.

Due to some of the commercial backend systems we are using, we need to
perform HTML rewriting to map everything into a single name space for
certificate and authentication reasons.

We are now using Apache 2.0.x with mod_proxy_html and mod_auth_xradius
and don't have any issues with it.

Adding in the HTML rewriting to squid that we needed was non-trivial.

YMMV, HTH,
