create an <img> link on the first page pointing to an "accounting" server with fully qualified url. this server needs to process the referer field and you are all set. distributing logs is a quite painful process, especially with heavily loaded mirrors due to the large amounts of log files. i personally jeep a backlog of 3(!) days access_logs and 1 week error_logs after shoving the access_logs through a statistics package.
