What I thought of was to make each file unique; ws = webserver;

and just write them each to an nfs share.
It'd not the name of the files which matter. When a single process (like syslog-ng) writes to a file then NFS behaves well. The problems start when there are multiple processes trying to access the same file. Disabling attribute caching in the NFS client could help, but this could have a big impact on performance.
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.
So could you please tell what is the actual problem? Regards, Sandor
