Howdy, I'm sorry I don't have too much time to spend on this. It belongs on the log4j-user and not log4j-dev mailing list anyways: you might get more help there.
But it boils down to this: you can use whatever name you want for loggers. Most people just use the class name, which means the same logger is shared by all instances of the class. You don't want that apparently. So you have to name your loggers with the some instance information, e.g. "device1". If you know in advance how you're going to name the loggers, you can pre-configure stuff for them in the log4j configuration files. If you don't know in advance, you have to have a reference to the logger or the instance of class A that you want to log, so you have to keep this reference somewhere yourself e.g. in a singleton containing a list of all class A instances.
