There is a third party mysql authentication module for squid (dont remember
the URL but saw it when I was googling for something totally unrelated).

Process accounting systems are a bit complex by themselves - esp as it is
tough (or is the word "impossible"?) for squid to take ACLs from mysql
queries, only user authentication is possible currently :(
I'd suggest (if you can afford it) that you buy one of the commercial squid
based products (anywhere betn $1000 .. $3000) which will do all this - and
also give you an easy (web based) config panel.
