[BUG?] 2 error_logs?

Hi,

Not sure if this is a Bug, a "feature, not a bug!"(tm), or just PEBCAK.

My current setup is currently like this:

Vhost 1:
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost1/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost1/error_log

Vhost 2:
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost2/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost2/error_log
Vhost 3 (default, fallback, should never else be used):
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost3/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost3/error_log

But, we want to add another set of logs for each vhost. So, the amended
setup would be:

Vhost 1:
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost1/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost1/error_log
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs2/vhost1/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs2/vhost1/error_log

Vhost 2:
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost2/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost2/error_log
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs2/vhost2/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs2/vhost2/error_log
Vhost 3 (default, fallback, should never else be used):
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost3/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs/vhost3/error_log
	CustomLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs2/vhost3/access_log
	ErrorLog -> /usr/local/apache/logs2/vhost3/error_log

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The error log for each only goes to the
second specified location, while the CustomLog goes to both. I suspect that
this is more of a lacking feature, but can this please be changed so that we
can do double-logging of error_log? (One is for a customer, one is for us).

Thanks!

Whilst on the subject;  We have the reverse problem in mod_log_config;
where you can open the same log file several times. Ideally we should
check if we already have an fd for a log file before openinging it.

i.e ensure that we only eat two, rather than three fd's for the example
given below.

	<Directory /www>
	<Transfer|Custom>Log /path/normal.log
	..
	<Directory /www/entrydir/>
	<Transfer|Custom>Log /path/home.log
	...
	<Directory /www/entrydir/deeper/down>
	<Transfer|Custom>Log /path/normal.log
	..

use piped logs.  i.e. errorlog "| tee /file1 >/file2"

(or maybe just use disk mirroring ;)
