What I thought of was to make each file unique;
ws = webserver;
ws1.domain.com-access_log
ws2.domain.com-access_log
and just write them each to an nfs share.
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.
