Each need to have their own log file, or you will most likely loose some
log entries and see log corruption. The problem with multiple writers to
a shared resource is a universal one, not restricted to Windows or even
computers..

Generally logging over NFS is not recommended unless you accept that all
your proxies are fully dependent on the NFS server. Might also have a
slight negative impact on performance, but probably not..
