It seems to me you have one of the situations in which using Squid is
pointless. You may as well configure the clients to use the Cisco
directly and have it do everything. OR, remove the Cisco and have Squid
do the traffic control.

Windows authentication does not work at all well through multiple layers
of proxies. It is designed for use within LANs. In order to use it in
the Cisco, Squid will have to disable almost all of the HTTP performance
and optimization functionality which makes Squid useful.

So why this particular setup?
