--- Comment #2 from Ralph Goers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  2008-06-26 21:26:22 PST ---
writing to a file from two JVMs is indeed supported by Java. The problem is
that in order to do so the file must be locked while the writes are taking
place. Java does support file locking, which is what would be required.
However, this was introduced in Java 1.4 with the java.nio package. Since the
released versions of log4j must run in Java 1.3 there really isn't a good way
to add this support until log4j 2.0 is available. I would also note that
locking the file while writing can cause serious performance bottlenecks.

This issue will be added to Jira for consideration in log4j 2.0.
