Mr. Lazy, be more specific! The log file is in time order. Now what do
you want to accomplish? Are you concerned about the remote hosts? or the
local ones? What exactly do you want to accomplish.

cache.log = status of the cache.

So what do you do when you start running out of bandwidth in a matter of
days?

Buy more bandwidth.
