With Novell NDS acessible using LDAP Squid integrates very well with NDS 
or pretty much any other major directory server out there..

If anyone is in this situation then there is several commercial providers
using Squid. This way you get the best of both. My personal preference is
naturally with MARA Systems (as I part own it, and is also responsible for
the product design), but Swelltech also is a recommendable player in this
market.

By buying from the recommended Squid commercial providers you in fact help
the Squid community by making sure the Squid development surives and is
the second best thing from hiring your own developers to work on 
enhancing Squid.
