I didn't think it possible to authenticate with transparent proxy.

I don't know a way to force the issue with NT Server domains.

With Windows 2003 Server AD Group Policy one can force XP professional 
clients to use specfic proxy (and other IE) settings. The issue of 
transparent proxy then doesn't arise.
