[squid-users] Squid Win32 AD Lookup

I have setup Squid for Win32, and it is functioning fine.
Management wish to log user names for those using the proxy.
I have installed ident for Windows on a few boxes - this is working fine
(logging the usernames in c:\squid\log\access.log)
I have the logs being parsed (daily) into a MySQL database, and some php
scripts generating reports as needed.
This is all good - thanks to the Squid guys.

My question is - how can I enable Squid (on Win32), to automatically
store the user name of the user, in the log, using an Active Directory
lookup ?
Thus avoiding the need to install an ident service on each Windows
machine.
Squid.conf examples would be much appreciated.

Another quick one - has any thought been given to Squid storing logs
directly in a database, instead of a log file ?

Thanks in advance,
Mark.
