    I found this gem at:
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/env.html#examples

    SetEnvIf Request_URI \.gif image-request
    SetEnvIf Request_URI \.jpg image-request
    SetEnvIf Request_URI \.png image-request
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd-access.log combined env=!image-request

    Restarted httpd and no more images (of the kind described above anyway)
    were logged.

    Still outstanding is the other task of conditionally logging attempted
    exploits, (but not the output) and confirming URL-rewriting is working
    as per my other post this morning.

    Regards to all,
    -Colin
