What if the design is changed from wccp to a redirection level7 switch such as foundry serveriron? L7 switch redirect http traffic to squids. Will this be able to design provide authentication from squid?
If you use a L7 load balancer with the clients configured for using the load balanced address as proxy then proxy authentication will work fine.
To prevent users from going directly to Internet, firewall will block their IP from http access direct to internet.
And if you instead of blocking NAT them to a web server exaplaining how to set the proxy settings less support calls will be seen...
