That's because all of the requests are redirected /error/403.htm
by the error_page directive, and you have logging to 403.log
configured in the corresponding location.

The 500 error code is logged for requests from blocked IPs
because:

- "deny" rule works in the location /error/403.htm, hence 403
error is triggered again;

- you have recursive_error_pages
(http://nginx.org/r/recursive_error_pages) enabled somewhere in your
configuration, and your configuration causes redirect loop which
in turn results in error 500 after 10 iterations.

To resolve the redirect loop, consider using "allow all" in the
location /error/403.htm.

Yes. You can configure different error pages for protected files
and the rest of the site, and log them separately. E.g.:

deny 192.168.1.123;

error_page 403 /error/403.nolog.htm;

location = /error/403.htm {
allow all;
access_log /path/to/403.log;
}

location = /error/403.nolog.htm {
allow all;
alias /error/403.htm;
access_log off;
}

location /protected/ {
deny all;
error_page 403 /error/403.htm;
}

No, there is no difference between "deny" specified at http{} or
server{} level.
