But I'd like to bite back: why doesn't Squid offer to forward access.log entries via syslog?
Because none of the developers need this and we do not consider the unreliable transport of syslog as suitable for proxy access log information.
But patches are welcome, certainly to the Squid-3 code base.
What is planned for Squid-3 but not yet completed is the ability to log via a pipe to an external program.
Lemma: Every decent network daemon can log to syslog! ;)
Not that many actually, at least not in the category where the Squid access log belongs..
