We've been logging from COM+ for a number of years now, and do so by loading a log4net configuration XML fragment from a centralised config file. We've experienced no problems loading the configuration this way.

I remember that on an old server, there were some weird difficulties logging to the event log. It could have been win2k or a credential problem with the account the com+ app was using.
