Oh yes, many folk. The NTLM code in squid was developed on a site with
~40000 users - enough to test it's robustness :}.

Yep. For maximum 'neatness':

Install squid 2.5 S1 or above.
Use the winbind NTLM authentication helper, and the winbind_group
external ACL helper, and then you can limit internet access by group
membership from your SAMBA controller, without any login prompts being
displayed. (There are other group helpers, winbind_group is just one).
