So my wife is brows­ing the refer­ral reports for her blog, and asks this typ­i­cally salient question:

If I’m read­ing an RSS feed of some­body else’s blog, and they have a link in their RSS to my blog, and I click that link… who’s IP address gets writ­ten to the log­files as the referrer?

Tech­ni­cally this is a ques­tion about RSS stan­dards and prac­tices, I sup­pose, as well as Apache’s log­ging. But in prac­tice it’s about the observed length of chains of surf­ing behavior.

Advice (or exper­i­men­tal results) would be welcomed.
