Hi, I'm not a log4cxx expert at all, but this should work by default. AFAIK, the code in a DLL is always executed in the process space of the calling process. I.e. two different executables, even though they are using same code from a same DLL will always have their code executed in a completely separate and isolated process environment. This is not something the log4cxx code has to care about, instead the mechanism is provided by the OS, out-of-the-box. So for a given log4cxx logger (instantiated in the DLL code), there are actually different logger objects living in the different process environments and will be logging to whatever appender has been specified in their respective environment (by the executable code).
Hope this answers your question.
