Having NLog loggers with different configuration

In NLog is possible to create multiple loggers with different configuration?

I have a component that every time that is instanced must log all events to a different file that is related to the new instance.

Is this possible with NLog? If not, there are logging frameworks that do that?

My full example of NLog.config 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
