Access Logfile Question

We are running reverse DNS from our server.  We have observed the
following entry in our access logfile:

UNKNOWN_HOST - - [05/Jan/1997:05:20:05 -0500] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.0"
304 0

In fact there are a number of these lines, 370 out of a 280K line logfile
for last month to be more precise.

Does anyone have any idea who this might be, how to find out who this is,
and/or how this might happen?

Thanks in advance.

Paul
