Just a minor point here, when you're dealing with a proxy which is used in contexts of high load (thousands to tens of thousands of requests per second), the unix socket's log buffers are too small on many systems, and many log messages are dropped. Thus on these systems, logging over UDP is preferred (which requires to setup the syslog server to listen to UDP, and preferrably only on localhost). Best regards, Willy
