Is it possible to extend the timestamp to log millisecond resolution?</p>
<p dir="auto">e.g.<br />
DNSBL Reject HTTPS,Mar 14 17:10:04.0000,graph.instagram.com</p>
<p dir="auto">I realize the [stupid] limitation that the FreeBSD "date" command has, lacking the %N format.<br />
$ date +%H:%M:%S.%N<br />
17:36:01.N</p>
<p dir="auto">That being the case, the system does have a proper clock... as demonstrated:<br />
$ perl -MTime::HiRes=gettimeofday -MPOSIX=strftime -e '($s,$us) = gettimeofday(); printf "%d.%06d\n", $s, $us' &amp;&amp; date +%s<br />
