It varies for different people.  The norm is that Mongrel is very quiet except 
when it needs to tell you about how it's configured and when things are going 
bad.  In most situations people can safely ignore the mongrel logs and be happy.

When things start going bad though you'll run into situations where you can't 
isolate which mongrel instance is doing it.  In one configuration I actually 
configured the log files to be:  mongrel-hostname-port.log for each instance, 
and the PID files as mongrel-hostname-port.pid.  This was a customer server so 
changing it was cake, but you can accomplish the same thing with options.

So, for most folks one log file is enough.  For the paranoid and the broken 
creating separate logs per mongrel is necessary.
