Help with Ensim & Urchin log rotation settings

Hi there,

I have just moved to a dedicated server and configuring some settings and "log rotation" settings in Ensim is one of them...

When access_log reaches to a given size (e.g. 64 Mbytes) Ensim archives that log file as accesslog.gz, up to 5 times. I have no idea about this and have a question about this archiving process. My question is:

Think that Urchin made an update on the access_log file when it was 60 Mbytes in size, and the next update will be one hour later. Before that 1 hour completes, the access log has reached the 64 Mbytes limit, and archived. Next time Urchin came for reading the access_log file, the new & fresh file was in 10 Mbytes size. The problem here is that there is another 4 Mbytes log in the old & archived log file which Urchin didn't read yet (the 60-64 Mb part). Does urchin look for archived files when updating, or will those 4 Mb data will be lost?
