Brian,

if I recall correctly the solution presented was less than desirable and had limitations.
Basically, MV would direct its output to a file name based on the order number or session id
and then redirect either to that file or to a page that would include that file.  Either
way, you could better identify what was occurring in Roxen because of the reference to a
physical page, but I didn't like it because of the extra page shuffles and overhead.  I
can't believe that this is a Roxen specific problem but rather an issue with how MV creates
the URL's.  How do you Apache folks deal with this?

I know that this might be equally as clumsy solution, but is it possible for MV to be
modified for an additional and optional parameter to appear as part of the URL to indicate
the real page name?  At least then there is something that could be parsed out of the log
files.
