Hi Primoz,
not really a security question, but here goes anyway....
Why not try the following?
A> Make a REDIRECT from the URI on Server A to call the URI on Server B..
then
B> If you're using one of the NCSA clone webservers on system B, restrict
access to the webpage using the 'Referer' and 'OnDeny' options? You could
then have the 'OnDeny' point back to the URI on Server A...
What this would do is that people would have to call the webpage from
Server A, and be redirected onto Server B. That way you could count the
accesses on Server A.
If, however, someone wanted to call the URL directory from Server B, it
would fail the call, redirecting it to Server A which would redirect it
back to Server B...
Now, BEFORE anyone shouts, I can see that this is INHERENTLY redundant in
terms of network calls and accesses.. but the guy asked and it is a
possible suggestion...
The second suggestion is the obvious one, which is ask for access to the
logfiles on Server B!!!!
Just a possible solution,
Steff
