Here's an idea:

Set your Domino management class to send data to a disk pool. However,
also set the maxfilesize parameter on the disk storage pool to send
files greater than a given size to the tape storage pool defined as the
nextstgpool for the disk pool. You can then enjoy the advantages of
sending small files to disk and the large files directly to tape--and
your log files will migrate to the same tape pool as your data files,
keeping all your Domino data on the same set of tapes.
