Take a look at org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender which has pluggable rolling and file naming strategies.
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/index.html For a little ancient history, log4j 1.2 has two classes named RollingFileAppender, the original in org.apache.log4j and a next generation (aka 2005 or so) implementation from the abandoned log4j 1.3 effort in org.apache.log4j.rolling. The o.a.l.r.RFA still has its problems, but is an improvement over o.a.l.RFA.
