The "Advanced Proxy" add-on to IPCop can use several authentication 
methods, including LDAP and Windows and it can be part of a 
Firewall/Content-filter/Proxy-caching setup in one box. I am using IPCop 
with several add-ons:

	- URLFilter (version of SquidGuard)- for content filtering
	- BlockOutTraffic for controlling outbound IP traffic
	- Update Accelerator - for caching updates for Apple, Linux and
	  Windows (among others).
	- Advanced Proxy (version of Squid) - needed to have both Update
	  Accelerator and URLFilter add-ons.

Just make sure you have machine with adequate RAM and Disk space (I'm 
using a 2.8Ghz P4 with 2GB RAM and 80GB HD).
