Micro$oft Authentication

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Dear Squiders,
  Our organization in planning to deploy a hierarquichal organization
of proxies around 18 cities, with the internet gateway access on the
main site.
  I was planning using several squids with sibllings and parents but I
come to the following problem: all users use Windows 95/NT and the
Micro$oft proxy server supports authentication by the "NT itself" (I
think this is called NTLM authentication), without the need for and
adicional user/password. Our Microsoft Evangelistas claim that it's
best to have a Microsoft Proxy Server :( because of this feature

  My question is: is it possible to have Win95/NT (with Internet
Explorer or Netscape) users authenticated by some Windows NT Server?

  Is there any other "better sollution" than using a user/password or
ACL by ip address to perform user authentication?
