$rm should return method type as integer when used in integer 
operations. This together with a shared variable (e.g., $shv(x) -- they 
can be changed at runtime via mi/rpc) and bitwise 'and' can be used to 
achieve what you want in your config.

Introducing the check inside the module will make the 'if' to be 
executed for each xlog function. Personally I would prefer to avoid 
introducing in the code all kind of filtering conditions, especially if 
they are not very common.

Cheers,
Daniel
