We used to, but Apache opens up a file descriptor for every open log file.
Add to that that Linux has a 256 file descriptor limit per process, and
suddenly you are limited to about 50 or so virtual sites.  As we had
customers who wanted to do a couple hundred or more, we got lots of
complaints.  So, the way we chose to fix it was to log to a single file and
split it out in a later process before doing our own log analysis.
