The problem there, as I at least alluded to in my previous posting is that, unless you already _have_ the local exchange, there's no was at the edge router level to log the "local" traffic vs the "remote" traffic -- you could only do it in a local exchange environment by virtue of the fact that theexchange existed in the first palce, to give the locals a place to exchange routing info.
