per-user authentication and settings (Squid or dg)?

Hello,
I apologize for the cross post, but i'm not sure which product, squid with proxy and authentication, or dansguardian, with user groups, would be best to assist with the issue i'm about to be faced with. I've got a transparent squid proxy set up with filtering and it is working quite nicely. Now i have need to have user authentication and individual user restrictions. For example, and i'll try to keep this as close to my situation as possible, user1 has no restrictions, can go anywhere. User2 only wants to go to yahoo sites, specifically instant message, mail, and yahoo music. User3 is allowed to play online games and i've got a site list of sites for them. User4 has been bad and has not done his homework, as a result i don't want him to have access to games, messaging, or any other content save another list of sites i approve. My thinking is to assign each of these users a username and an md5 password for digest authentication, yet i don't want to install apache for access to htdigest to pull that off. I've thought about ntlm, but that seems overkill for this situation, more than likely these user requirements will be varied. I'm also not sure if this is something dg would be best at or squid at the proxy level.
Thanks.
Dave.
