[squid-users] Reverse Proxy and Apache logging

Hello and Happy New Year!

I have one question which I need some clues about.

I am running Squid-2.6 in accelerator mode. The site being accelerated
is being served by apache which is residing on the same box as Squid.

Squid is listening on the public IP of the box while Apache listens on
the loopback interface (127.0.0.1).

Now, for the purpose of getting access statitics for the websites being
accelerated

My Squid config for acceleration is as follows:

# Since apache is on the same host, we make apache bind to 127.0.0.1 and
# Squid listens on the public IP
http_port a.b.c.d:80 defaultsite=www.domain.tld vhost
cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 80 0 no-query originserver

Now, when I check the Apache logs, there are no details of the actual
hosts accessing the website:

127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:53 +0300] "POST /searchmyresults.php HTTP/1.0" 302 18844
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:52 +0300] "GET /kcperesults.php HTTP/1.0" 200 33729
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:52 +0300] "GET /kcperesults.php?start=21 HTTP/1.0" 200 33789
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:54 +0300] "GET /kcpe2006res.php?id=1477429&cenno=603030 HTTP/1.0" 200 19026
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:53 +0300] "GET /kcperesults.php HTTP/1.0" 200 33714
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:55 +0300] "POST /juan1.php HTTP/1.0" 302 -
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:55 +0300] "GET /kcpe2006res.php?id=1917448&cenno=401116 HTTP/1.0" 200 19026
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:55 +0300] "GET /searchmyresults.php HTTP/1.0" 200 18844
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:56 +0300] "GET /kcpe.php HTTP/1.0" 200 18083
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Jan/2007:13:08:56 +0300] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 20460

Is there something that I need to put in squid.conf so that it can
"forward" to apache the actual details (IP, name) of the connecting
host for logging?

I'd like to be able generate access stats for the websites using
apache logs.

Thank you in advance..
