Yes. Of course, it's important to have a clear understanding of the recipient of the data—if you are using it to communicate with the customer, as in Michael's example, then it makes sense to log it. It's useless for law enforcement or copyright tattling. Anyway, I think there's a case to be made for a system like the one Michael is describing; I just don't think every ISP will want to do that. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
