Yeap, however you should remember that if several threads (request) try to
access the file the same time each process will be queued until it gets an
exclusive lock, which might a preformance issue. It might be possible to add
additional loggers to cf for use in cflog, but it would take a little work
to discover the way to do that .... start with the logger.xml file.. .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<configuration>
<!-- custom log4j appenders can be configured here -->
</configuration>
