I maintain a small hobby website for some friends.  I use mod_rewrite, and 
apache logs all rewrites to /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log.  The log gets very 
large and files up /var, so I added it to newsyslog.conf:

/var/log/httpd-access.log               640  5     *    $W0D0 Z
/var/log/httpd-error.log                640  5     *    $W0D0 Z
/var/log/httpd/rewrite.log              640  5     *    $W0D0 Z

As you can see, the newsyslog.conf settings are identical to the 
httpd-access.log and the httpd-error.log.  Both of those logs are rotated 
daily and only five gzipped backup copies are maintained.

For some reason, the rewrite_log never gets turned over.  Has anyone seen 
this problem?  What might I be doing wrong?
