Each need to have their own log file, or you will most likely loose some log entries and see log corruption. The problem with multiple writers to a shared resource is a universal one, not restricted to Windows or even computers.. Generally logging over NFS is not recommended unless you accept that all your proxies are fully dependent on the NFS server. Might also have a slight negative impact on performance, but probably not.. Regards Henrik
