Use of alternate VAR directory

Hi all,

I'm using one Exponential installation for multiple sites. To keep the sites somewhat apart, I created different VAR directories for each site (defined in the site's site.ini.append.php).
Just now I came across the fact that EZ still uses the default VAR directory for some caching (/var/cache/ini/ and /var/cache/codepages/) and logging (/var/log/).
Is there any setting that points EZ towards my custom VAR directory for these as well?

TIA,

Vivienne

These use the common var directory because they're not different for the different sites. E.g. the codepage cache files will be the same for all sites, same goes for the .ini cache.

Thanks for the speedy reply. And what about the log-directory? I assume warnings etc. are specific for each site?
Greetings,
