I'm not sure if I got you right: Are you trying to identify unwanted sites from your access.log? Maybe the blacklists from SquidGuard can be of any help: http://www.squidguard.org/blacklists.html If you compare the sites from your access logfile with the blacklists, you should be able to figure out which are unwanted sites. You would need to write a script comparing the files and reporting any hits.
