Another important thing to know: If the httpd process handing a 
request terminates abnormally, there won't be an entry in the access 
log. That's because Apache logs requests (in the access log) AFTER 
they have already been sent to the client.

The only way to track every request that comes in is to use something 
like mod_forensic.
