Controlled forward proxying possible?

Hello

I would like to know if it is possible to configure the SuSE FTP Proxy
as a forward proxy with user authentication and user-based
authorisation. Specifically, I need an FTP proxy that a local user may
log in to using credentials local to the proxy, from which she may be
either automatically be redirected to an FTP server (using credentials
stored on the proxy, e.g.) via some sort of username to FTP server
mapping mechanism, or from which she may establish an FTP session to a
list of FTP servers (specific to her).

http://www.suse.com/en/whitepapers/proxy_suite/ftp_proxy/ftp_proxy_wp_5.html
makes it sound like this is not possible. Is that true? If someone could
confirm my suspicion, I could move on to look for another package.

Cheers,
Tobias
