With httpd running and dispatching tons of requests to its faithful and hardworking offsprings, we have the requirement of gathering real-time (whatever that means) stats about incoming requests including certain headers and other contents, IP and other info and communicating that info to another process that could be residing on the same machine (if that can be justified). The question is what is the best way of accomplishing this feat? Shared memory (justification) or a tcp-connection? Given the Apache architecture, what is the best means to accomplish this task?
Thanks a bunch. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
