Just wondering.....

If you create a number of users under one virtual host and then map
domains to each of these like this:
maindomain.com -> maindomain.com
domain1.com    -> maindomain.com/~user1 
domain2.com    -> maindomain.com/~user2
domain3.com    -> maindomain.com/~user3
(easy to do using an include file in httpd.conf)

As far as I can see the Raq doesn't seem to keep logs for domain1.com etc. 
It will only log visits to maindomain.com/~user1. If you visit the same 
web pages as domain1.com it doesn't seem to record it. I haven't fully
investigated so I could be wrong about this.

But if this is the case and you had, say, 100 domains each pointing
to a separate user for maindomain.com, would this get around the problems 
that Zeffie was describing? After all, if they were small, low usage sites 
logs might not be necessary.

I would be interested in what Jeff or Zeffie (or anyone else) thinks about
this.
