Thanks Alex, After looking at the source code again I am beginning to understand how the format codes are used. On the subject of unique ids, the code %random isn't necessarily of my choosing. But it has 54^8 combinations, and comes from /dev/urandom by way of a Mersenne Twister. But I will give due consideration to usage of such a thing. I think you are suggesting that a "proper" UUID may be better, that incorporates a time element and is suitably long. Given that %master_axtion is a counter which resets when you restart squid, and is not unique among squids (or restarts), is there not a case to be made for making one available?
