Thanks for your response! However, I think I would have a root defined in both files (one for the client side & one for the server side), and I would also have duplicate categories. For example, I want to send all log messages from category "com.foo" to the JMSAppender - this would be the client side. Then, on the server side, I would like my message drive bean to process all the messages it receives. So, if it receives a LoggingEvent with a category of "com.foo", then I want to send it to the appropriate appender - say FileAppender. So, I want to use Log4J on both the client and server side, and have a seperate configuration for each - but not have them step on each other.
I'm still unsure of how to do this, even though it seems like a fairly logically idea.

The >reason for this is as follows: Michael, I've been doing multiple config files without much of a problem at all. As long as the root is only defined in one file, and also that there aren't duplicate categories in the same VM, you shouldn't have a problem. If you download the Expresso Framework (www.jcorporate.com), and check out: com.jcorporate.expresso.core.logging.LogManager You should see where I implemented the reading of multiple XML files.
