Maybe a silly question, but this is the HTTP logfile of a virtual domain 
/ website on your server? If yes, have a look at the HTTPERR logfiles 
located in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\LogFiles\HTTPERR\*.log. Together with 
the Event Viewer (both Application and System), they have been helpful 
on more than one occasion.

One common made mistake is to grant modify permissions to an IUSR on the 
www-root folder, when FrontPage Server Extensions are installed. This 
means anyone can log in with FrontPage without authentication.
I am not aware of any (new) FrontPage vulnerabilites. If there are, I'm 
interested too.
