No, I am more thinking along the lines of using the timing pattern to determine which URIs are the staring point of interactions from one steady state to another steady state. E.g when I see GET URI-1 <50 milli seconds> GET URI-2 <50 milli seconds> GET URI-3 <1 hour seconds> GET URI-4 from the same IP (or visitor if IP is not enough) I'd probably think that URI-1 and URI-4 are URIs of 'bookmark-like' interest to the client. Anyhow, what Mark meant, IIUC, is that the access log can be harvested for navigation patterns that allow such conclusions to be made. If all my clients frequently start froma steady state using URI-4 it worth maintaining it, eh? Jan > > Thanks > > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
