I'm not surewhat you mean. Do you mean the domain in the pop up prompt,
or a domain in the squid.conf file?

The popups are caused by communications failures with the DC's. If you
don't care about security you can turn on the ntlm fail open configure
option, and configure the ntlm_auth helper to accept all usercodes when
the DC cannot be communicated with.

I'm not sure what you are asking for. Do you have specific questions?
