Re: [users@httpd] Unsorted timestamping in Apache2 log files

Hi Joshua,
I'm a little bit concerned about using piped logging for an high volume web
site... but this seems to be a practicable solution. Further investigation
required ...

Thanks again

    Actually, another alternative would be to use a piped-logger, and have
    this program write out the current time, overwriting anything written
    by apache.
