I don't currently use it, but only because I am not at the job any more, but
they are still using it.
Yes, you can have the active log called whatever and the rotated logs called
and store something/where else.
Cronolog is basically an external program that apache will use for logging.
they have usage examples here:
http://cronolog.org/usage.html
in looking at those I may have been incorrect with my above statement. I was
probably using a symlink for my active log, but either way it should work
the same.
Have fun and let me know if you have any other ?'s
