Thanks for quick answers, so the thing are like I suspected.

However one caveat in global stats-variables when using database for
it is that if I need to write diffent lines into it by *end* status of
transport (timed out, successfull, denied etc). Can that be done?

As if I want to graph in Cacti/MRTG the successfull & unsuccessfull
transport attempts.
