Good question.

Do the clients even accept leaving the domain field blank?

If the clients accept using a blank domain then you could try asking the
Samba people if ntlm_auth could be made to substitute a default domain in
the authentication if the domain is left blank by the client.

There is no way to make the NTLM login dialog not have that domain field.
The format of this login dialog is fully defined by the browse, all the
server (i.e. Squid) says is that NTLM authentication is acceptable and the
domain of the server.
