External ident program

Would it be possible for Squid to use an external program for performing
ident lookups, similar to the redirector? We have a LAN Manager network
and can use Samba to perform the equivalent of an ident lookup on a
client, but currently I have no way of getting this information into
Squid for logging purposes.

Note that to perform LAN Manager name lookups a process must *listen* on
port 137, so incorporating the code directly into Squid would require it
to run as root.

Thanks,
