Okay, I was coming at the issue from the wrong angle - I had only one config file for all programs.
I'll use a separate one for each exe. Thanks very much for your help!

You don't, in the DLL you normally would work with "CommonDll" or such as logger and in your log4cxx configuration for each application you just configure the logger "CommonDll" to use the same appender and such as MyProg1, MyProg2 and so on. This way you can handle the log statements from the DLL in each application as you like, without the need to know in which application your DLL is used why.
