Not by default, but you can:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
/home_www/logs/*.log {
        dateext
        daily
        missingok
        rotate 32767
        nocompress
        delaycompress
        ifempty
        create 664
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                if [ -f /var/run/apache2.pid ]; then
                        /etc/init.d/apache2 restart > /dev/null
                fi
        endscript
}
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this new feature...
