This is not easily done in a transparent proxy unless your OS has strong
IP-Spoofing capabilities.

IDENT needs to make the query using the source address of the contacted
server.

As you are looking into dial-up users I would recommend integrating Squid
with your dial-up ACE. If your ACE supports querying what user is at what
dial-up IP then you can easily integrate this into Squid via
external_acl_type.
