[squid-users] NAT-Aware squid

Hello

I want to create a captive portal able to deal with users that are behind a NAT.
The network diagram is :

userA1---(priv subnet)---[NAT gateway A]---(pub subnet)---|
userA2---(priv subnet)---[NAT gateway A]---(pub subnet)---|
... |
userB1---(priv subnet)---[NAT gateway B]---(pub subnet)---|
userB2---(priv subnet)---[NAT gateway B]---(pub subnet)---|
... |
.. |---(squid)transparent web proxy)--- Internet

The login/password is common to everyone but changes every 30 minutes. People connected can access the web during 30 minutes from the time they initiated the connection.

Of course, if userA1 connects, it should not automatically grant access to userA2.

We do not have control over NAT gateways.
Can Squid be the "transparent web proxy"? Will it be able to differentiate NATed users?
If it can't, do you know any software that does this?

Best regards,
William Gacquer
