In fact, this projetct is a extension to MySAR report generator. The log
reader is the same as in the project, as it uses a DB,
and fill in with all information that it gathers from squid log file.

I use it to read every minute, so it keeps the DB updated. Without
updating the DB, the redirector
daemon doesn't know about traffic sizes. I know its not a Real perfect
way, but it does the job very well.

It will be open source, I'll release it soon.

C, PHP and MySQL as backend.
