Maybe yes, maybe no.

You did add this:

Sigh. Some people who might have answered will be legally bound not to
or risk their employment.

A client is using kerberos (aka "3") to respond to your NTLM (aka "1")
challenge.
  * Find out what client browser this is its really rather broken, and
if possible why it's acting this way.
  * Look into implementing Kerberos auth in your network. NTLM is
officially deprecated by MS now, and apparently not supported in Windows 7.

I think they mean that storing the auth credentials and re-using them
for the IP gets around it.

Not a good solution at all. And squid does not support auth cache for
NTLM type protocols anyway. Which means you need to be using insecure
Basic auth for it to work.
