I have a Windows 2008 R2 failover cluster server. I am going to move one of our window services onto this new server. The service writes some trace information to a log file on the local harddrive. This will become a problem when it is moved to cluster server when cluster A become unavailable and cluster B takes over and now there are 2 places where I need to look for log files. Is there a way to make sure regardless of which cluster is on, I get one complete log file?

I have been researching this and there is something called DFS replication but i was wondering if there is something better that works with failover cluster...

I prefer not having to update my code. I can specify it to write log files to a different location by changing app.config file but no code change...
