alert without logging

Is there any way to write a rule so that it _doesn't_ log an alert? I'm currently running snort against two B subnets. The amount of CodeRed and Nimda probes that hit the network is fairly high (ie, 5000+ per hour). The number of machines on the network that become infected is also extremely high. Anyone that's worked in an academic environment will understand my pain ;). Anyways, I'd like to make use of flexible response _without_ having to parse though 100,000 alerts at the end of the day. ie, snorts sees a request for cmd.exe, kills the connection, and goes on its merry way without generating an alert. Is this possible? Thanks, Nate -- Nathan W.
