Also good information to know. I'll check into this.
I'm still finding my way through this and the next step is getting SSH to work
over it....no luck with that yet.

The security level with Digest depends on the nonce lifetime and reuse
counter, both of which you can tune to your liking. The shorter those
are the more secure, up to the point where it is a purely one-time
token. That said, some clients (most often browsers) have big trouble
managing nonces in correct order and with dozens of connections open to
the proxy - and then there are Squid bugs. So tuning those is not as
easy as it should be.
NTLM does not work over the Internet. Kerberos might, but not very well.
They are connection-oriented authentication schemes designed for use in
LAN environments. So for your described situation they are not useful
even if you were willing to open the ports.
