Fine.

No problem.

It's always depending on the ACL. Squid does not request authentication
until required by ACL processing. So a rule requiring authentication
only for some sites looks like

http_access allow marginaldomains authenticated_users
http_access deny marginaldomains

before where general access is allowed..
