Probably viceversa would work too, so you could have squid cache junkbuster ad filtered pages. Just an idea.

You might do it the other way around using pam_smb to authenticate unix logins against a Windows domain controller/active directory server. I do it with enigma, valhalla and psyche. A catch is you have to create local accounts for each and every user on each unix machine. On the security side, I'm not quite sure about how secure is pam_smb authentication, so if you need to authenticate machines on a distributed site, you might be better off doing it iver a VPN (which is always a good idea, anyway).
