Somehow, I doubt that a MS proxy server with NTLM authentication
hands out cookies :-) Authentication is typically handled by the
application server infrastructure. If you check the box somewhere
in MS IIS, then the server will require authentication before the
request ever reaches the (ASP) application. If it's an application
in the first place and not just a bunch of static pages.

I'm afraid we'll have to make sure that NTLM authenticated
connections are either not re-used at all, or only by someone
with the appropriate credentials. And especially in the proxy
scenario, re-use would really improve performance.

cheers,
  Roland
