I decided to migrate from apache to nginx and all has gone well so far, except i'm having difficulty trying to work out how to stop certain IP's & host-names from being logged. under apache all i had to do was this: SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "^(192\.168\.1\.[0-9]{1,3})$" dontlog SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "127\.0\.0\.1" dontlog SetEnvIf Remote_Host "\.lan$" dontlogby commandergc - Migration from Other Servers
