Nologging clause

I am running oracle 10.2.0.3 SE. We are in the process of implementing CAS (Central Authentication Service). The request has been made to use an existing production database to house the repository for the tickets. The database in question is one which will be phased out so usage is declining and will ultimately be used only for the CAS repository. Currently the database is in archivelog mode. There is no need to be able to do a point in time recovery of the CAS repository so I would like to turn off logging of those transactions to keep the archive logs from growing and grabbing all available space (there is enough space to hold the existing application, the CAS application but probably not enough to hold all the redo which would be generated by the CAS tickets and the existing application). I agree, it sounds strange. The tables holding the CAS tickets are in a separate tablespace. If I alter that tablespace and set nologging will that stop redo being generated against tran  sactions in that tablespace? As I understand the documentation setting nologging will prevent redo generation for transactions in that tablespace. I don't have a setup in which to test this. I hope I have stated my question clearly.

Thanks.
