+  Apache provides a couple of different ways of doing this.  The
+  recommended method is to compile the
+  <A
+   HREF="../mod/mod_log_config.html"
+  ><SAMP>mod_log_config</SAMP></A>
+  module into your configuration and use the
+  <A
+   HREF="../mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog"
+  ><SAMP>CustomLog</SAMP></A>
+  directive.
+  </P>
+  <P>
+  You can either log the additional information in files other than your
+  normal transfer log, or you can add them to the records already being
+  written.  For example:
+  </P>
+  <P>
+  <CODE>
+   CustomLog&nbsp;logs/access_log&nbsp;"%h&nbsp;%l&nbsp;%u&nbsp;%t&nbsp;\"%r\"&nbsp;%s&nbsp;%b&nbsp;\"%{Referer}i\"&nbsp;\"%{User-Agent}i\""
+  </CODE>
+  </P>
+  <P>
+  This will add the values of the <SAMP>User-agent:</SAMP> and
+  <SAMP>Referer:</SAMP> headers, which indicate the client and the
+  referring page, respectively, to the end of each line in the access
+  log.
