okay let's go concerning auth part of the squid.conf, I would like to
say, nothing special .. below the ntlm config part

auth_param ntlm program /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth
--helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp
auth_param ntlm children 128
auth_param ntlm keep_alive on
acl ntlmauth proxy_auth REQUIRED
...
http_access allow ntlmauth all
http_reply_access allow all
http_access deny all
deny_info TCP_RESET all

not really sure to understand what setting you are speaking about ??

if I good understand you get requested config line above ..

what kind of interception are you speaking about ??
