I'll comment on log rotation, a little off the "separate logs" topic, 
but a similar topic to your 600 meg log file issue.  Log rotation 
compresses older log files, saving around 75% to 80% of the space a 
non-compressed plain-text file would use.  Verio uses Urchin for log 
analysis software, and the script Verio provides to install Urchin 5 
automatically rotates logs, and compresses them.  This command installs 
it on a Verio VPS:

  vinstall urchin5

Urchin was purchased by Google, and is now known as Google Analytics:

I imagine if you install this software it will also automatically 
install log rotation scripts.
