That's not possible with the current code.

The client log uses one big chunk of memory for everything. It is a
hash table. Each slot is either marked as unused or has data for an IP
address. Removing a client would be just marking the slot as unused.
It would not save any memory.
The clientlog command could have an option to do that for entries that
are older than specified threshold. Would that be useful?
