If you mean that you have 2 separate processes that are both logging the
same data to the same file, then you would expect the same messages to
be logged, both processes are doing the work, you would expect to see
the messages from both.
You might want to configure the layout to include the process id of the
process that is logging so that you can differentiate between your 2
processes.
Setup the process id in the GlobalContext when you initialise logging:
log4net.GlobalContext.Properties["processId"] =
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id;
Then add "%property{processId}" to your layout pattern.
If this isn't your scenario could you explain a little more your
architecture and the relationship between the appenders and the 2
processes calling the initialisation code.

Answering these might also be helpful.
