Oh, ok. Now I understand.
The short answer is that it depends on the proxy server and what it chooses
to log. Obviously, at the moment when it makes a connection, ANY proxy
server knows where the connection is from and where it is to, and it has to
remember this at least for a brief time (otherwise, it could not route the
reponse to the correct host, right?)
For example, proxy servers are one way of implementing restrictions to
kidproof/censor (choose one) access to the Web. Schools commonly are able to
access from these products lists of URLs accessed ... I believe associated
with the address of the host that did the access, but not the userid of the
person logged in at the time.
Beyond that ... it's been years since I actually did any work with proxy
servers, so I can't be more specific in response to your question. The
example I described above is well known, conventional wisdom from K-12
school lists.
