Hit counter for intranet

[calista]

Hi, everyone! Here's the task at hand. I'm trying to create a hit counter to keep track of visitors to my Intranet pages. I looked at the various tags on Allaire's Developers Exchange, and I'm not sure if any of them will do the job. What I looking for is, what variable can I keep track of to log visits? All users have cookies, but if, for example, they come back more than once without having deleted their cookies, the same CFID and CFTOKEN will apply to all sessions until they delete their cookies. I thought about using a session variable, but how do I kill it when they close the browser or leave the site? I really want to count sessions and keep track of what pages they visit. (I've been asked to do this, not my idea) Any suggestions? Calista :-X

Here's another part to the question. I guess I can do without the the session variable. I'm just recording the user, the page name, and the date/time and inserting it into a database. That should do for now. However, I suspect the majority of my users are using my intranet as a portal to access another server I have provided a link to. How do I record that? Thanks in advance!
