That is correct. Multiple Rails processes (i.e. mongrel clusters) can  
now safely log to the same file, have the file roll, and all the  
processes will use the newer log file.

You can also use the Syslog appender in Logging and dump to the syslog  
service. This is good for collecting logs from multiple machines.
