IIS automatically creates separate logfiles for each virtual servers - in
fact, I'm not sure if it's even possible to create a single logfile for
multiple virtual servers. It's easy to have the logs created within the root
directory of the Virtual Server, so that it should be possible to only allow
analysis of WebA's logs from a form in WebA, if you use separate Anonymous
accounts for each virtual server (though I can't say that I've actually
tried to do this). But by default, a user would only access one set of logs
at a time, unless they deliberately tried to access other logs.

I actually use an ASP script for the form, and have it present a list of the
available files in the log directory. With Analog 4, you can select multiple
logfiles, so a single form can allow the user to analyze any combination of
logs that they want.
I will sometimes set the logging directory into the Virtual Root, so that
http://virtualserverA.domain.com/W3SVCx/ points at the logs. I then copy
anlgform.html there, as anlgform.asp, and add the following code:
<select name="logfile" size="5" MULTIPLE>
<%
Dim fs, fldr, files, f1
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fldr = fs.GetFolder(server.mappath("."))
Set files = fldr.Files
For Each f1 in files
if right(f1.name, 4) = ".log" then
response.write " <option value=""" & f1.path & """>"
response.write f1.name & "</option>" & chr(13)
end if
Next
%>
</select>
This lists all files ending in .log, and allows me to select one or more for
analysis.
(You could spruce this up in a variety of ways, to offer the last 7 days
worth, or this month, or last month, as a single entry in the list).
