Using %{UNIQUE_ID}e from mod_unique_id is a *great* suggestion if our interest was merely identifying each log line uniquely. However the initial question is focused more on the sequence and order of the requests. Thus, I believe a time-based solution is what we're after. This isn't a Linux forum but it seems like *nix would keep time with milliseconds in an environmental var somewhere? Then we could stuff it in the log like %{TIME_WITH_MILLISECONDS}e Thanks, http://www.t1shopper.com/ PS. We thought about using %k for the "number of keepalive requests handled on this connection" as that would track sequence however if the client doesn't use keepalive then %k would always be set to zero. Adding milliseconds to the date seems like the cleanest solution. PPS. Using mod_unique_id is more elegant than our current solution for insuring uniqueness so we're looking into moving over to this depending on how CPU/memory efficient mod_unique_id
