tried it on both Apache 1.3 and 2.0 no dice
86400 basically rotates it every 24 hours.
I am having issues trying to even force a log rotation.
So much fun so little time.

Which version of apache is it?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/rotatelogs.html
states that "if the rotation time is 86400, the log file will be rotated every night at midnight", although:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/rotatelogs.html
does not. It should be easy enough to grab/use the rotatelogs from a newer version of apache though.
You also need to consider when midnight is -- it has options for making it run in localtime or at specific UTC offsets, but by default it runs in UTC.
