Some commercial stuff used to do cookie-insert for every domain that was
going through the proxy; I think it worked by inserting a cookie with
a special name that was then used as an authentication token.

I have no idea if this'll work for CONNECT (I didn't think cookies were
thrown across the initial CONNECT session) but then I bet you could get away
with IDENT for hoose and non-ident for the rest.o

Besides, how many connections a second are you talking about? A modern
box can handle thousands a second.
