A request for multiple access logs for university research
Hello all, one of my graduate students is investigating web redirection for
load balancing of mirrored web servers. To better understand the possible
benefits of automatic redirection (e.g., to a geographically closer or less
loaded server), we need to characterize the problem. One way to do this is
by studying access logs from mirrored servers.
Is it possible to obtain access logs from apache.org mirror sites? Most
helpful would be access logs from multiple sites around the world for the
same time period (say, all from the same week). Since all mirror sites are
independently "owned and operated" (right?), how might I best contact
mirror site owners with individual requests (if this is the way to go)?
Any advice or thoughts on quantifying the automatic redirection problem are
of interest to us.
Thanks!
Ken Christensen

create an <img> link on the first page pointing to an "accounting"
server with fully qualified url. this server needs to process the
referer field and you are all set. distributing logs is a quite painful
process, especially with heavily loaded mirrors due to the large amounts
of log files. i personally jeep a backlog of 3(!) days access_logs and 1
week error_logs after shoving the access_logs through a statistics
package.
