No, but it'd be a pretty easy plugin to write if you needed that
functionality.

Assuming you're using Perlbal as a reverse proxy, the requests you care
about can be logged by your backend web servers anyway. If you really care
about logging static content or cached reproxies or other Perlbal-only
requests, you'd have to get a plugin.

I've actually written a plugin that does just this by offloading the
logs to a central machine via UDP.
We're about to deploy and fully test it, when we're done I can make it
available if you'd be interested.
