for webdav and validation we had for a long time a separate log file.  
Although it really made sense, it was very very difficult to find  
relations between entries in exist.log and webdav.log/validation.log ;  
very often i missed some essential relations.

Therefore, IMO it is a bad idea  to have the log split into separate  
files.

I think that if you want to craw through the logs of a complex product  
as exist, you need some tooling. Log4j has chainsaw which is very  
usable.....

In an other context I have to deal with logging of complex software as  
well. Multi threads, multi processor boards. In that context having  
one file is essential.

-1 for me.

(well you are free to change the log files locally :-) loren does that  
as well i think)


Kind regards
