Tracing redirects

Hi,

I have a link on our site that is caught in a redirect loop that I can't
figure out. We have a few thousand redirects, making it very difficult
to track down.

I've tried enabling logging:

LogLevel info rewrite:trace2

but even with just trace2, there are thousands of log lines associated
with this redirect being created that it's impossible to trace. Do you
have any tips on how to go about figuring this out?

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Probably a good idea to think of a longer term vision for logging approach,
but the two other possibilities I can think of are

- awk grep or sed your configuration files with some desirable regular
expression to include the rewrite directives and rules

- use a client on the first url, and write the location header to file or
stdout each time your 3xx response comes through
