[WEB4LIB] Sniffers?

You could read the log file into mysql if there is a delimiter, even a
space, on each side of your URL in the log and do a query just on the
url field using the keyword "distinct".  This can be done on linux or
windows.  If you are using linux, there is a program called webalyzer
which gives a similar output as the webtrends product and I think it is
free but I'm not sure if you can show unique hits.
