Hi all,
I'm found of Log4J for a while, I'm using it anywhere but I'm facing
a problem (not really) that I'm unable to resolve with current Log4J code.
So this post claims to define a user need & a new feature or admitting
that I don't know everything for this great tool.

I'm working in a clustered environnement, with the same apps deployed on
several machines..Using the same config file from my application server
for log4J I can use a chainsaw console for viewing every trace from my
application... But :( how could I distinct any error on the application
server 1 with the same problem on the application server 2 ?
My customers need really a way to administrate their application servers
without using 1 chainsaw / server or without using one config file per
server.

I would add that the 2nd solution is used as a hack now but I would prefer
a way to have the IP or hostname of the sender of the Logging Event.
After an in depth look to the log4j architecture I think (may be wrong ?)
that this latest class is the perfect way to add this data, eevry appender
would be able to use it later...
Adding a few lines of code for the PatternLayout & wee could use something
like %i or %h for adding IP or hostnames in our traces....

If this architecture sounds good for you & that I don't miss some trivial
way to achieve my goals I 'm ready to code this feature & to send you my
patches (I can be paid to do this :) ).

Your optinions would be greatly appreciated
Sorry for my poor english written
Cheers
Jerome
