[mod_backhand-users] Dual reporting in apache access logs
Apologies if this was answered in a previous thread:
From some mild testing, I've noticed that access_log entries will be made
twice for a particular request. For instance, if a client is making a
request to moderator server [A] and then server [A] then backhand requests
to server [B], then there will be entries in access_log files for both [A]
and [B].

Is there a way to avoid this? Perhaps a mod_backhand command that would
remove moderator requests from writing to the access_log? I ask because the
appearance of the double-entry corrupts the pageviews that I get in my
subsequent stats program.

Thanks in advance.

The patch in that post is in all mod_backhand districutions after
1.1.1pre3. So, the current version 1.2.0 doesn't need any patches
applied to do what it describes.
