The situation you describe seems quite natural to me (assuming
squid is running on your gateway machine). Of course the outgoing
connection originates on your machine, because it originates with
squid.
I believe the info you want is all on your machine: squid produces
it, not diald. I imagine that you could coordinate the squid and
diald logs, but I don't see why you would want to. (I guess maybe
you want to know the time used by squid transfers, not the number
of bytes ... squid keeps time information too, but inaccurately.)
A souped up dialmon could read the squid logs in real time and
toss that info in, but I can't imagine how that would be worth the
trouble.
The only easy way I can think of to get diald rather than (just)
squid to produce the info you want is to set up a squid on every
box on your net, and point the browser on each box to it's own
personal squid. Set them up as a system of peers so they can
share cache data. (I guess you're outta luck if many of those
client machines run lose95 ... maybe you can organize them into
groups each with a linux squid as a "parent").

Try calamaris.
