I had actually considered that this may be the case although I've not read anything about it in the documentation. I was thinking that maybe instead of the Appender overriding the other appender it is infact appended (no pun intended ;-) thus giving two appenders for the logger foo.bar. Other options are overridden like <level> etc. I guess <appender-ref>'s are accumulated (via inheritance or otherwise). Or am I barking up the wrong XML-tree (couldn't resist that one I'm afraid).
