Hello, It is my impression that lots of people on this user list are using log4j as their logging mechanism. Also i believe lots of people here use multiple tomcat instances for load balancing. I am wondering how you guys are using log4j in this case. If anyone can give me some ideas and/or answer my questions below, that will be greatly appreciated.

Our application is running under multiple tomcat intance. We have our own plan logging mechanism. We are moving to use log4j to replace in-house one. 1. Would it be better to keep one log for each tomcat instance or all share the same log? a. If former, how can we conordinate, from application, writting log information into the one log without conflicting each other and in the right sequence. b. If latter, is any tools we can easily merge all logs into one (as if it is one) so we can do statistics. 2. Does log4j caching records in the buffer and flush them to disk once buffer is full or it write records everytime it receives a log command? If former, how does it solve the issue when system fails and the cached records lost?
