My company has a domain of 7 machines:
2 x DCs - Windows 2000 Server
3 x WWW Servers (load balancing done via another non-windows box) - Windows
2000 Server
2 x Clustered DB servers, active/passive -Windows 2000 Advanced Server

I check the logs daily and since their going live (possibly before) there
are daily entries in the secutiry log for:
NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON

My question is this:
Are these entries from normal behaviour or is it likely to be something more
suspicious?

If it's something more suspicious then what/where should I go looking?

Entries usually like so (computer names etc have been changed):
