Try FireGen for Pix 2.0: http://www.eventid.net/firegen/firegenpix2.asp
Just to comment on each of your requirements:
1. > a solution, preferably free
It is not free but the price is more than reasonable
2. > I can enable Syslog
It is designed to analyze syslog logs (the most popular formats being 
WinSyslog and Kiwi Syslog)
3. > will give us reporting on web requests
FireGen will provide much more than that. See the sample reports:
- Generic report: 
http://www.eventid.net/firegen/mildco01-2004-03-12-165112-ondemand.html
- IP Forensic report (the activity of a certain IP addressd): 
http://www.eventid.net/firegen/ipforensics_report.asp
To record the URLs (the PIX %PIX-5-304001 messages) you need logging level 5 
but to actually get the traffic (bandwidth, connections, hosts, protocols, 
etc..) you need level 6.
4. >standalone win32 app
FireGen is a standalone Win32 app (but requires that you have a syslog 
server)
5. >something we can run on our Win32 Apache/MySQL box
You can run it on any Windows 2000, XP or 2003
6. > something which will give an at-a-glance view of the internal hosts, 
hostnames too if possible, the URLs they're looking at, maybe even session 
duration, whatever we can get beyond that is a bonus
It seems that you are interested in the "IP Forensics" type of report (see 
above)

Subject: [logs] Logging pix behavior


I've had a good read of the site, but can't find anything which is a fit for 
our current requirement, so am wondering if I can call upon the expertise of 
the lists members...

We're after a solution, preferably free to begin with to put together a 
proof of concept, to log HTTP requests which pass from our client PCs out 
through our PIX firewalls. I can enable Syslog and have been experimenting 
with a syslog server, but can't find anything thus far which will give us 
reporting on web requests either as a standalone win32 app, or better still 
as something we can run on our Win32 Apache/MySQL box.

All I'm looking for is something which will give an at-a-glance view of the 
internal hosts, hostnames too if possible, the URLs they're looking at, 
maybe even session duration, whatever we can get beyond that is a bonus.

Any thoughts?

TIA,
Steve
