It may seem a bit convoluted but we can log the first connection per
day by a wireless device.<br>
<br>
The wireless goes through ZoneCD which provides a 10.10.10.x IP to
them and serves a policy page.<br>
When the page is acknowledged ZoneCD always sends the first request
through IPCop to our website.<br>
(ZoneCD has a fixed IP of 10.10.10.1)<br>
<br>
Webalizer logs the referrer IP in the report so we only need to look
for the correct IP.<br>

The high was probably a result of the central Ohio area week long power
