I have this as well, but from some hardware load balancer our provider uses.

I want to have it basically say:

if ($remote_addr ~* 10.2.34.3) {
 access_log off;
}

Or something of the nature. Note: that is pseudocode, I probably
messed up the ~* but I just woke up. It was an example :)

I think I tried this and it didn't work (and I'm sure Grzegorz tried it too)
