The proxy doesn't have to entirely require authentication.

Ie, the ACLs are:

acl proxy_hosts src 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.2 1.1.1.3 1.1.1.4
acl local src 192.168.0.0/16
acl proxyauth proxy_auth REQUIRED

http_access allow proxy_hosts
http_access allow lcl proxyauth
http_access deny all

This way the proxy_hosts have access without needing to authenticate.

That said, I believe you can configure up basic authentication in
the cache_peer line.
