Re: Logging the source port?

2009-11-13 04:48:51
A really big NAT serving, say, eighteen million customers, can easily be so dense that if there's a bit of clock skew between a web server and the NAT operator, another customer might have used the same port at the time recorded by the web server.

Therefore, I think it's safer to say that it's the NAT operator's responsibility to log enough. Umpteen million web sites will continue to use apache's common log format, so the NAT operator has to log what's needed to work with that format anyway.
