docs/defns.html says exactly what analog counts. For a start, check the HTTP status codes. Some analysers (eg webalizer, I think) count redirections in the total. I think this is very broken, because if you redirect to one of your own pages (which is the most common sort of redirection) you effictively count that request twice. -- Stephen Turner Cambridge, UK http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches."
