I don't understand the rationale for the request. If a user complains
that he was unable to access some web content, how will you be able to
identify the reason for the failure?

If the purpose of the request is simply to report what web servers are
being accessed, it would be better to leave Squid's logging alone and use
something like Calamaris, Squeezer2, Webalizer, etc. to generate the
report from the raw access log. This would leave the needed information
to deal with user complaints while removing detail that might scare
management. :)
