To the best of my knowledge, you can't change the exact directory in which
log files will be created. You can specify where that directory will be
placed, but that's it. Fortunately, though, you can programmatically
determine the name of the directory based on the site number. Each IIS
virtual server is issued a unique number, which is used to name the
directory.

The unique identifier is the site number, as mentioned above. If you're
using IIS 6, you can easily create a new site from a definition file. If
you're using IIS 5, you can still script the creation of sites.
