Sure... Easy.... in /etc/squid/squid.conf, set the following:

#  TAG: cache_access_log
#       Logs the client request activity.  Contains an entry for
#       every HTTP and ICP queries received.
#

cache_access_log <location>/access.log

THEN, set IE to access the local proxy server :

Open IE
Tools
Internet Options
Connections
Lan Settings
"Use a Proxy Server" and give it the ip address & port number that you setup
in Squid.
Click OK
Click OK

Your all set. The Squid access.log looks like this:

You can also have the browsers access the Internet like normal and have
Squid "Intercept" the http requests and process them (Transparent Proxy). I
know Squid supports it but I can not tell you how to (One of the many things
I need to do). It's my understanding it's not that hard to do.

   Hopes this helps...
