One thing I've done in the past is to create a fake log file using Apache
notes. These are arbitrary strings that you can pass to Apache, which then
can use them in the log files. I've found that log analyzers don't deal
with requests with question marks in them very well. So, I added code to
create imaginary paths based on the names of departments. If the real
request was index.php?SCREEN=item&department=3&item=2, I might produce an
URL like "/Books/Poetry/Art_to_Choke_Hearts/item.html". You have to fiddle
with Apache's config file to create another custom log. I think I've talked
about this on the list before, so check the archives.
