Mongrel users - Jul 2007 - anyway to exclude logging for a given IP address?

Hi, im not sure if this is a mongrel or rails question, so im sorry  
if I got the wrong list.

Is there anyway to turn off logging (in production.log) if a request  
comes from a given IP address. I use monit to watch everything, and I  
get tons of this in my log file:

Processing AccountController#login (for 127.0.0.1 at 2007-07-31  
14:06:28) [GET]
   Session ID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
   Parameters: {"action"=>"login",
"controller"=>"account"}
Rendering layoutfalse within layouts/login
Rendering account/login
Completed in 0.00390 (256 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.00286 (73%) | DB:  
0.00078 (19%) | 200 OK [http:// /]

thanks
Joel

This is a rails question.

The way I did it was to create a specific monit controller, that has a
single action and define logger to be empty so it just does nothing,
which keeps it from writing to the log file. Index just calls
index.rhtml which just has the word "success" in it. Not sure if that
or :render :text => "success" is faster, but either works.

class MonitController < ActionController::Base
  session :off
##   this is used by the monitoring scripts to see if the mongrel is
up and running
  def index
  end
  def logger
  end
end
