[syslog-ng] cisco/squid feedback

Hi,

Digging around, I could not find anything on how to 'sensibly' log the 
junk that Cisco IOS devices (and their infernal WLC) spit out plus I was 
keen to rewrite squid HTTP proxy server logs to make use of the 
epoch+msec timestamp found in the MSG.

I have documented, very roughly, my current solution on my website and 
would welcome amendments/fixes/flames/etc on the approach:

Before you ask, I use 'match("fqdn.example.com" value("HOST_FROM") ...)' 
as netmask() is broken for IPv6 :)

Cheers
