	Well, you could set apache up to log via cronolog and rotate its
logs hourly, then pull them onto a central host (scp, rsync, nfs, what
have you). Merging them into a unified log would also be possible.
	Another alternative would be to use something like multitail, a
third would be to have apache log to syslog[1].
