Problem w/ log redir when clustered

I have a web application that is configured to (essentially) do it¹s logging
to system.out.

In a normal stand alone Glassfish instance, it logs just fine to both the
standard GF log location (i.e. $GF_HOME/domains/domain1/logs/server.log) and
any custom log location I might set (i.e. /tmp/logs/domain1.log)

But the same app in a clustered instance ONLY successfully logs when
Glassfish is configured to log to the default location
($GF_HOME/domains/domain1/logs/server.log).

If I adjust the configuration for my cluster to log to anything other than
the default file, my applications¹s logging never gets output to the file.

Again, my app logs just fine either way in a stand alone Glassfish instance.

Any guesses as to why my logging output behavior is different in stand alone
vs clustered glassfish instances?
