I wrote a CompositeRollingAppender last August to do that.  I'm attaching that
code and some example config files to you separately.

Ceki... Could you please put these files in the log4j/contribs/KevinSteppe
folder of the available releases?  This seems to be coming up occasionally and
it would be more convenient to just point people there.

Thanks,
Kevin
