Instead of a single file, log to a single process, which can handle any variety of situations.
For instance, it could cache 100 hits to each virtual server before it rights to the log, and it also flushes to disk when the server produces error log output.

I am thinking of serving some hundreds virtualhosts each with separate log and errorlog on PC having 768 MB RAM and 2 GB swap using Debian Woody and debian package kernel 2.4.18. >From some point apache didnt start, giving error like Too many open files: unable to open a file descriptor above 15, you may need to increase the number of descriptors Obviously it helped to insert into the /etc/init.d/apache ulimit -S -n 8192 And after some time we discovered that CGI scripts started to behave strangely, giving only headers or just hanging. Anyway, in the errorlog was different message [Sat Jan 4 21:49:08 2003] [warn] send body: filedescriptor (1137) larger than FD_SETSIZE (1024) found, you probably need to rebuild Apache with a larger FD_SETSIZE I searched the web and found out one recommendation of compiling apache with rised DF_SETSIZE. So i added in the debian/rules the following value to the CONFLAGS -DFD_SETSIZE=4096 And while building deb source package i recieved those warnings gcc -c -I../os/unix -I../include -DLINUX=22 -DTARGET=\"apache\" -I/usr/include/db1 -DDEV_RANDOM=/dev/random -DUSE_HSREGEX -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O1 -DFD_SETSIZE=4096 `../apaci` ap_slack.c In file included from /usr/include/sys/types.h:215, from ../include/ap_config.h:86, from ../include/httpd.h:72, from ap_slack.c:67: /usr/include/sys/select.h:77: warning: `FD_SETSIZE' redefined *Initialization*:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition At the beginnging it seemed, these manipulations have taken care of the problem, but before too long i noticed the same FD_SETSIZE warnings again. Please, could you give me some advice what to do besides to distribute virtual hosts between to servers :) Also, i found hints from the internet that changing FD_SETSIZE aint easy matter and actually one needs to change it systemwide? Searching lists around httpd.apache.org i found a suggestion of writing all logs into one place (pipe?) and sepatating them afterwards. Althought it could be somewhat solution, is there some other (preferrably counfigurable) way of doing it?
