You don't have to log in to visit the sites.  These log files are
actually for many domains.  Right now, we do logging with a web-bug
and it does handle the sessions, but it relies on javascript and we
want to track a lot more than we are now.  Plus, that code is in
JavaScript and one of our primary motiviations is to ditch MySQL
completely.
