I actully just need squid to act as transparent proxy so I can log
traffic. I don't care how squid will do this, I just need the logs. And
the reason why we use the mirrored port is that we don't want browsing
affected in case this server goes down.

We specifically need the Squid log format that's why we want to make this
work with squid. My boss doesn't want it any other way. :-(
