So for a given set of users (by MAC or ip) you want a pre-coded upstream
credential set ? Do you need per-MAC/per-ip credentials or just one set?

uhmm, here's a possible approach:
create a new cache_peer with a login entry
cache_peer parent.foo.net parent 3128 3130 login=joe:bloggs

use cache_peer_access acl rules to limit who can access that cache peer.

Note: the cache peer _can be the origin server_.
