For maximum reliability I tend to forego the built-in log reopening  
in favor of using the logrotate utility in "copytruncate" mode. This  
will not require any log file reopening, logrotate will simply make a  
copy of the existing log and then truncate the logfile that continues  
to be in use to zero length. Zope or the ZEO server won't have to  
know or care at all at that point.
