Hi Thomas,
mod_log_sql seems interesting. I'll definately look into it.
Concerning mod_cband, it has been removed from all repos because there
is no upstream maintainer, and because it is buggy. I verified that the
etch version does in fact not work. I didn't yet try recompiling, but
I'm not too fond of recompiling anything, since it might break again
when the system is upgraded.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463789
If you're looking for a partner in the development of the cband module,
I'm afraid I won't be able to help (since I suck at programming)
It does seem a good idea though to pick up where the former maintainer
left of. For many users this was definately the top pick in bandwidth
management for Apache. Making it work with MySQL would definately be a plus.
