Have you tried the "copytruncate" option in logrotate.conf ? I am using
it without any problems on Solaris8.

copytruncate
Truncate the original log file in place after creating
a copy, instead of moving the old log file and option-
ally creating a new one, It can be used when some pro-
gram can not be told to close its logfile and thus
might continue writing (appending) to the previous log
file forever. Note that there is a very small time
slice between copying the file and truncating it, so
some logging data might be lost. When this option is
used, the create option will have no effect, as the old
log file stays in place.
