Hello,
I have a proxy which uses IP based access (if you come from IP address X,
you're allowed to use the proxy, if from IP address Y, you're denied.
Now, a second proxy is being installed and an F5 loadbalancer is placed in
front of them, which causes all connections to the proxies to be made from
the loadbalancer.
The loadbalancer has the option to turn on the X-Forwarded-For header, so
we can check that. But is it possible to check this header directly, or do
I need an external authentication program to do this?

To the best of my knowledge, this is only available in Squid 3 or via
the patch on devel.squid-cache.org
http://devel.squid-cache.org/follow_xff/index.html).
