Your load balancer should already have this information handy for diag
purposes.  If LVS, i'd  use ipvsadm --stats  to watch volume/requests
per real server.   If you need more than that ... you'll probably have
to request the "team that owns" to stick code in their web
application.

They could bow to the evil gods of google,
http://www.google.com/analytics ... if that's the kind of stuff they
are really after.

HTH,
George.
