[logback-user] Can we have more then one varable in file name

[David Roussel]

Praveen,

I think sifting appender can only use one key from the MDC in the file name. 

It would be nice to use more, but that would require changes in logback. In fact I've wanted to do this before. But made a work around with two sifting appender and a filter.
