The simplest way to work around this, given a large enough pool of
clients, is to use persistence with a timeout appropriate to your
organisation.

That way, a given client goes to realserver (squid) A and uses it
exclusively until they idle outside the persistence timeout. They then
get assigned to another realserver (which may be realserver A again) and
may be asked to authenticate again. You could explain this to your users
thus:

If you stop web browsing for more than 60 minutes, you may be asked to
authenticate again to continue.
