I think you should use only apac he or only squid for this.

For apache, you can easily set up <virtualhost> or <directory> with
authentication needed (see AuthUserFile, require and satisfy directives),
and proxied (see ProxyPass and PRoxyPassReverse) to other host/port.

You can do this with squid ACL's, with and without squid behaving as http
accelerator (iirc) using acl directives.
