      My provider apparently have other customers on the same /26 as i reside on.
      And one of those keeps requesting a DHCP adress , and filling my log with "deny's"

      I have tried to do a basic "deny rule" w. "no logging" , but it is caught & loggedĀ  before any "normal" rules.

      It might be nitpicking , but it annoy's me a bit that this unit fills like 60% of my outside deny's.

      Does anyone hav an idea how i can "deny" wo. logging for the specific host ?

        Turn off bogon logging get rid of those.

        You could also turn off logging of rfc1918 and default if you wanted, and just create a block rule at bottom of wan interface rules to log what you want.Ā  I do this since all I want to see is SYN blocks, I don't care to see all the other noise like UDP and Out of state packets that are dropped by the default deny.
