Sorry for being incomplete but I thought from Tom's post that the incoming web 
requests were being written to a separate log.  We use the Web Proxy service in 
ISA format.  
 
Thanks, Sean

The log file will be named differently depending on which log format you use.  
ISA log format filenames (for the proxy service) begin with web.... and W3C 
extended format filenames begin with webext.  Then the next character depends 
on how often you rotate logs, etc.  If you don't use the web proxy service you 
won't find any web* log files.
 
You can look in your log configuration in ISA management to find where your 
logs are being stored...

Tom,
 
Where is that log file, I did a search but no luck.  How do you turn up logging 
for inbound requests?

Use grep, it's better for the environment :-)  That and a whole lot more 
available with the Posix tools ported to NT (I think they were from GNU).

You can even use good 'ol DOS commands.

find "W3ReverseProxy" webdyyyymmdd.log > hostedyyyymmdd.log

where (obviously I hope)
yyyy is for year
mm is for month
dd is for day

You'll have one logfile of all the requests from OUTSIDE for websites you host.
Bet you'll be amazed at how many  <http://www.worm.com/> www.worm.com and other 
CodeRed/Nimda derivative requests you get.!
