It seems like logging enough detail to matter on so many loads would cost more in time and money than the data is worth.
edit: And then I did the math. A 15 byte IP (pretending all IPs are made of four 3 digit numbers) plus a 400 byte URL across 1b accesses is less than half of a terabyte hard drive. Guess we're doomed.

This is Facebook we're talking about, right? Of course they're tracking. If no other reason than for ad retargetting.

An IP address is just a 32 digit binary number. 4 bytes, not 15. The dotted quad notation is just to help the humans typing them in.
I was thinking in terms of most logs I've seen where it's stored as text.
