In Debian's /etc/cron.daily/apache that currently does log rotating, the program is sent a SIGHUP to reopen its log file. The easiest way of getting the filemuxing to work would probably be to use cron to HUP the server (but that kind of defeats the point of the whole translator setup). As the file is only written to, one might get away with changing files under apaches feet (provided, I think, that actual file writes and not only lookups go through filemux). This gets rid of any cron work (except deleting old logs), but it feels to me like unpredictable behaviour that could confuse users and programs both.
