What do you mean by NTLM driven proxy server? If you are talking about using 
Seaside or some web framework for Squeak to collect the User ID / Password 
(form-based) then authenticate the user to an AD controller, then yes, this 
is possible. If you also mean to build a plain jane forward and/or reverse 
proxy server to access resources that are accessible either anonymously 
and/or using basic auth, then yes this seems doable.

If you are asking about using squeak to authenticate the user using a strict 
NT challenge and response protocol and then cache the user's authentication 
token on the Squeak server and impersonate the user to backend NTLM-based 
web servers, then I think you have a lot of work ahead of you. I can't even 
get Apache with mod_proxy to do this.

Let me know more details and I might be able to provide a pointer.

Regards,

John
