How to combine logs from two IIS servers to be fed into a Stat Report Generator like AWStats

Question

I was given this interesting task in my new job of setting up an automated report on page hits for a site loadbalanced on seperate IIS servers. My first choice in terms of which software to use is AWStats as I am familiar with it from my Apache past but I wasn't sure what would be the best way of combining the stats between the two servers. Merging log files, pre AWStats with a script or 3rd party app? Possibly a setting within IIS? or maybe AWStats can do this itself? RegEx?

Forgive my ignorance, your answers are greatly appreciated, I would love to know your thoughts.

I just finished writing a console app that we will run nightly with the task scheduler to merge the log files from the different servers we have on the load balancer.

We ended up using Outlook in background mode on our azure server and ran a 3rd party app that processes attachments. Has been up for a week with no issues. I recommend if you go down this path you monitor it using an app such as Zabbix or Nagios.
