    IIS logging is controlled by URL, not IP Address. So, if you make a request
    to a URL on the server, IIS will log it, unless you configure IIS to not log
    access to that URL, period.

    In general, IIS does not offer any conditional "filtering" operations on the
    log file. Presumably, you want IIS to first log everything (or subset of
    columns), selected by URL namespace, and then you run tools like LogParser
    on the log to filter/extract the subset, import it into SQL for further
    analysis, etc.

    Can someone tell me how to stop logging localhost or particular IP addresses
    in IIS 5.1? Also, anyway way to block IP addresses with IIS 5.1 short of the
    Windows Firewall or a hardware firewall? Thx!
