What I thought of was to make each file unique;<br>ws = webserver;<br><br>ws1.domain.com-access_log<br>ws2.domain.com-access_log<br><br>and just write them each to an nfs share.<br><br>Not flaming the group at all, actually Bazsi your name shows up more than any of my normal mail :) But, I have tried twice with a reply or two, and once conf files were sent up and/or shown the thread died. I see some very intersting questions, answers on the group and it would be nice to see some of these things, but really, I am talking about a handful of webservers (nothing fancy) just to write to a central log and it's not working. The basic syslog @server worked perfect, since the platform updates, just not working, but I appreciate the reply.<br>
