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.

So could you please tell what is the actual problem?
