Building Apache with this module allows you to log your activity to a central database. IMHO, it's easier to generate stats, etc. than keeping your logs in text form. I haven't investigated the load / performance aspect of logging to a database, however, so it might be better or worse than syslog in that respect. -- Jon Parise (parise@pobox.com) .
