My first choice is to prevent these requests from occuring in the first place. I'd rather not have my web server processing or attempting to process forward proxy attempts. This uses cpu and bandwith. If that is not possible I would like to try and filter these requests out to a separate log. I know they are happening, but don't really need to see this mixed into my standard logs which I use for trend analysis on my servers.

The FAQ tells you how to grab these requests in a : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#proxyscan from where you can also do logging, if you'd like. I just can't get why people are so upset about seeing odd stuff in their logs. That's what logs are there for: to show you what is happening to your server. If you remove all that stuff, your logs become much less useful.
