in reply to Log Files for CGI Submits

If you expect the site to be that busy, creating many, many log files may not be practical.

You night consider using a database instead. Timestamps are easy and even guaranteed unique id's are available through auto_increment or a sequence trigger (depending on the DB engine). Logged data can then be retrieved through simple select statements and you could even generate text files (logs) if really needed.
