Oh sure you can. You can explicitly call an appender by name.

So, if you have your appender like

log4j.logger.MyLog=DEBUG, mylog
#additivity false, means just don't append to default root logger as well
log4j.additivity.MyLog=false
#other usual props
log4j.appender.mylog=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.mylog.maxFileSize=5000KB
log4j.appender.mylog.maxBackupIndex=3

Now, in your class use this appender like

Logger log = Logger.getLogger("MyLog");

You're done.
