It is possible however to set up a second virtual web server folder/instance
within your IIS that shares up the same files, and disable logging on that
web server. You can bind that web server to 127.0.0.1 if you ensure the
first web server is not bound to that IP or to "all IP addresses." This
should remove local accesses from your web log.
