There is also some docs on http://devel.squid-cache.org/external_acl/>

To be able to easily plug into custom access controls into Squid.

The ncsa_auth helper should parse the password fine, but you need to
write your own external acl helper to check the IP address and refer to
this via external_acl_type. (ncsa_auth will then check the password,
your helper the IP)
