Hello again,

Everything is running pretty smooth after the solution applied, I have noted 
just one thing, my /var/log/messages is caughting all the logs (including the 
statistics log from apache) on each server and due this the file goes up to 
5-6GB every few days, is there anyway to prevent the apache statistics to go to 
this log file?

This is my syslog.conf

-------------
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.*                                                 /dev/console

# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none                /var/log/messages

# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.*                                              /var/log/secure

# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.*                                                  -/var/log/maillog


# Log cron stuff
cron.*                                                  /var/log/cron

# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg                                                 *

# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
uucp,news.crit                                          /var/log/spooler

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*                                                /var/log/boot.log

local1.*    @rsyslog-server.domain.com
-------------

Thank you in advance.
