[squid-users] Log file size limit

It is a new thread, in fact.

D.J.Bernstein (cr.yp.to, creator of qmail) have an
utility that is shipped with daemontools, called
multilog (former known as cyclog).

That utility reads stdin, can do some filtering and
can do log cycling based on log file size.

May be there is a way to use it with squid. Or may
be squid can have that in the code some day in the
future.
