Forward a log to a different indexer without forwarding _internal index to that indexer

I have a universal forwarder (version 6.2.5) that is forwarding a monitored log file to an indexer. I want to add another monitored log file that should be sent to a different indexer. I got this to work by adding a [tcpout:indexer2] stanza to the outputs.conf and using _TCP_ROUTING = indexer2 in inputs.conf for the new log file. However, the _internal index (splunkd.log etc.) is now being sent to both the original indexer and indexer2. I want the _internal index to be sent only to the original indexer. How can I configure the forwarder to make this happen? Here are the outputs.conf and inputs.conf settings I am currently using: **outputs.conf** [tcpout] defaultGroup = indexer1 [tcpout:indexer1] server = server1:9997 autoLB = true [tcpout:indexer2] server = server2:9997 autoLB = true **inputs.conf** [monitor:///var/log/test1.log] disabled = false index = test sourcetype = access_combined [monitor:///var/log/test2.log] _TCP_ROUTING = indexer2 disabled = false index = test sourcetype = access_combined
