Today the login(and password) name must be unique for the whole Squid, no
matter what the user requests. Once logged in you can use proxy_auth etc
to limit what users may access what, but the same login can not have
different passwords depending on what is being requested.

However, MARA Systems is collecting bids for implementing multiple
authentication "realms" within the same Squid allowing different user
databases to be used depending on what is requested where. Implementation
will start when there is sufficient interest.
