Thanks Tom & Jim and everybody else for their input.

I think we're going to combine the logs by means of an sql query to see
who's been active within a certain resource at a given time.

Tom, the idea is to benefit from the comprehensive (and app specific)
log on IIS, while at the same time being able to record the originating
ip address. ISA logs only details the traffic, but gives very little
information about what happens at a higher level (though this could be
reconstructed with some parsing).
