Are you familar with IBM's Event Logging? http://evlog.sourceforge.net/ Event Logging works well in a clustered environment. You can have your logs go to one central location and, with the help of a plug-in, you could dump the messages off into a database for easy queries. Mark Megerian at IBM is working with a DB2 plug-in. Here's the thread on the evlog mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1785428&forum_id=659 Thanks, Dan > /Christer
