splitting logs per domain when using Dynamic Virtual Hosts

Hi all,

I have the following issue: My apache2 is setup with Dynamic Virtual Hosts,
so as long as the right directory stucture exists I can serve the website
(e.g. the website www.domain.com relies on the existance of the path
/home/sites/domain.com/www.domain.com/html)

But all logentries for all my domains end up in one place,
/home/logs/accesslog

Is there a way to automatically generate a logfile per 'dynamic domain' so
in the example above that automatically a logfile is made like
/home/logs/accesslog_www.domain.com?

Thanks in advance,
Dr.Bob

its not generally a good idea to have of the order of a hundred files
open at once like that.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/fd-limits.html
I use DCMVH too, and use one log file which I split each night using
cron.
have you seen the apache docs on piping your log file thtugh a
splitting script, so its"live" this is great is you can rely on your
script not to hang. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/logs.html#piped

Sounds like a great solution :-)
