Sorry about the accidental early send before.

Barry,i fyou are using "transparent" caching, you CANNOT use proxy
authentication at the same time.
 
If you have carefully divided your network, such that those users
getting prompted for passwords are not using transparent proxying, then
that *should* be ok.
 
The reason that requests with authentication in them go direct by
default, is that under http/1.0, and for nearly every http/1.1 site,
they are uncachable, so going direct is a much better use of network
resources.
