hehe, I'll try to explain this a bit.

The intent of the accesslog sampler is to take the access log from a
production environment and paste it into jmeter/bin directory.

then in the AccesslogSampler, you simply point to the local copy of
the access log. The log should be in the common log format, which most
webservers support. one of these days I plan to write a parser for
extended log format.

I hope that helps
