It appears you already have found a solution that works for you. However, I've found a different solution which I consider to be "more ideal", so I'll post it here for whoever might find this question in the future.

log4net has a concept called repositories which can be configured separately. It's not very popular nor very well documented, but here's some documentation I found:

http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/repositories.html

Anyway, all you need to do is add RepositoryAttribute on your plugin assembly or assemblies with a repository name unique to that plugin and log4net will keep it separate from everything else.
