I didn't go all the way through their "free setup" procedure (I don't need my EMAIL
address on any more lists), but NedStat talks about giving you a piece of code to put
on your page. Including a little Javascript to pick up the referrer to the user's
home page (it's the document.referrer string), and then
passing that as a parameter to your servlet, doesn't sound like it would be all that
hard.
Whether NedStat uses servlets or not is irrelevant, because the problem you are facing
is based on how referrers work, not on what the server platform is.
