Um, ... hm. I've never investigated the CustomLog directive.
I'll take a look ..... Hm, there's a lot here.
It looks as though I could have separate log if necessary for
each virtual host too. Intriguing. The trick is to produce something
which automated log analysis tools won't barf over.
This would appear capable of doing the job maybe. I notice that
there are %f, %U, & %v. You suggested "{%{Host}i|%v}". I'll try this
but would %f give the path or just the name? I like things to be self
documenting if at all possible. Implied knowledge often gets lost.
