The external_acl information can not be passed to redirectors.

But you should be able to extend your redirector to perform the required
lookups. Not very efficient thou..

What is needed for this to work is some kind of tagging mechanism where
http_access can assign a tag to the request and this passed to redirectors
etc.

The sequence of events here is:

User is ldap auth'd
Request goes to the redirector
Request gets processed through the ACL's in squid.conf
