I fear not. Think what happens with NTLM: in this case the only
kind of forwarding you can do is pass-through.
This works, of course, but still doesn't work for my needs. An
X-Squid-Authenticated-User: username
and
X-Squid-Originating-Client: ip_address

(pick any other name you wish for the header)
without any checking done by the upstream proxy.
This would be used only for logging purposes.

Rationale: in big caches, architecture the cache
in two levels. First-tier caches perform authentication
and authorization. All of them have a single parent cache
which does the on-disk caching and logging, without cached
data duplication and maximum efficiency.
