Joe, You are right, piping logs to logger works fine for apache logs, 
but AFAIK it doesn't work for php error_logs ( php_value error_log 
"|logger [..]" ).

Thank You Karl! It works for me.
So I use parameter log_prefix("service1: ") as equivalent for 
program_override() on client side and then $PROGRAM.log on server side.

However, it is still needed to configure individually each log file [set 
"prefix/program"] on client side but server process it smart to 
dedicated files.
