+  <P>The simple answer: by piping the transfer log into an appropriate
+  log file rotation utility.</P>
+  <P>The longer answer: In the src/support/ directory, you will find a
+  utility called <CODE>rotatelogs</CODE> which can be used like this:<PRE>
+   TransferLog "|/path/to/rotatelogs /path/to/logs/access_log 86400"
+  </PRE> to enable daily rotation of the log files.<BR>
+  A more sophisticated solution of a logfile rotation utility is
+  available under the name <CODE>cronolog</CODE> from Andrew Ford's site at
+  <A HREF="http://www.ford-mason.co.uk/resources/cronolog/"
+  >http://www.ford-mason.co.uk/resources/cronolog/</A>. It can automatically
+  create logfile subdirectories based on time and date, and can have a
+  constant symlink point to the rotating logfiles. (As of version 1.6.1,
+  cronolog is available under the <A HREF="../LICENSE">Apache License</A>).
+  Use it like this:<PRE>
+   CustomLog "|/path/to/cronolog --symlink=/usr/local/apache/logs/access_log /usr/local/apache/logs/%Y/%m/access_log" combined
+  </PRE></P>
