limit_req off?

[Fry-kun]

I have a location with limit_req and would like to set up an inner path
without the limit but with other settings same, e.g.

location / {
  limit_req ...;
  proxy_pass ...;
  location /private/ {
    limit_req  off;
  }
}

How come "limit_req off" is not an available option?
Any other easy way of achieving this?

Thanks
