You know as much about this as most here. It don't work.

I'm no expert myself but I suspect the reason goes something like this:
(wild guess)
   NTLM is a sub-band authentication in background channels directly
between the server and client. Now client thinks the reverse-proxy IS
the server so is happy to authenticate with it. Squid is possibly able
to pass the login details back to exchange, which required NTLM with the
client. Client goes, hang on a minute I wasn't talking to you, and kills
the auth. Squid does not have the client-stored secret information to
setup a fake NTLM sequence to exchange on behalf of the username/pass it
knows.

As I said, I'm no expert, but it seems to me that is likely what the
issue is. If I'm wrong can someone please indicate why such an old and
popular item as NTLM re-auth has not been implemented in _any_ version
of Squid yet?
