It would be easy enough to put a conventional page-visit counter somewhere on the site's home page, but I don't want to just count the visits to that page.  I really want to get a log of all the accesses to the site, regardless of which page or file the http request accesses.  I realize this is like a very conventional http access log, but I want to implement a simple access log totally within the ZODB.

Thats perfect possible if you would have just several hits per minute.
It will bog down your installation and render your site unuseable if
you have more then 1 hit every 2 seconds.

Why not just use the logfile?
