My personal chose is to have each server with its logs
files, and them, offline after rotate them, merge them
into a big one file

to merge the log I used to use the 'mergerlog'
command:
About:
mergelog is a small and fast C program, which merges
HTTP log files by date in 'Common Log Format' (Apache
default log format) from Web servers, behind
round-robin DNS. It has been designed to easily
process huge logs from highly stressed servers, and
can manage gzipped files.
