Those servers are asking for NTLM (aka "windows native") authentication,
whose design breaks every assumption behind HTTP, and as a result is not
proxable. It's not a squid problem, no proxy in the market will work.
Reconfigure those server to use Basic or Digest authentication and the
problem will disappear.
