The right way to deal with this is to have your ASP script not redirect
.gif requests to the home page.

There isn't really any way to exclude the "extra" hits, because, as you
point out, they are recorded as perfectly normal requests. You could count
the number of hits to your redirect script that are requests for .gif, and
manually subtract that number from your total for the home page, but it
would be far simpler to just fix the offending script in the first place.
