Why do you think it is NOT a file locking problem?
On each realserver, you have a lot of httpd daemons running, and to
write
into the same file without interfering, they will have to use file
locking, to
get exclusive access.
If this files sits on a NFS server, and NFS file locking is buggy
(which I only
know as rumor, not as experience), then it might well be the cause of
your problem.
Why don't you keep your access_log local on each server, and rotate
them frequently,
to collect them on one server (merge-sorted by date/time), and then
use your
Stats server on it?
If you use separate log files anyway, I cannot see the need to create
them
on NFS. Nothing prevents you from rotating them every 6 hours, and you
will probably not need more current stats.
