[squid-users] 1 Squid Cluster 2 Physical Machines

Hi all.
I would like to know if Squid is able to support the following type of
configuration.

I would like to build a squid cluster, comprising of two physical boxes,
but one dns name.
I will use Round-Robin DNS. The problem I see is the authentication. I
presently use
ncsa_auth for users to authenticate. If I set up the DNS in round-robin,
how can I get a user to
only have to enter their details once, but request objects from both
boxes if the DNS round-robins the
address.

Is there another authentication method that can achieve this?

I will also implement a cache-hierarchy on the boxes so try to avoid
having the same object in both boxes

Any help is appreciated, or please point me to documentation on the
subject.
Thanks
