If you've HOSTEXCLUDEd your developers IP adresses, then some of the 
requests are coming from non-developer addresses.

Do a FILEINCLUDE for just that page, and you'll get a list of all the IP 
addresses that are requesting it. They won't all be your developers 
addresses.

Open your logfile in a suitable text editor, search for one of the 
requests in question, and change the filename to a name that you know 
doesn't exist. Save the file and run Analog against that logfile - 
you'll find that the request will not show up when you're HOSTEXCLUDEing 
the IP address on the line that you edited.

If you get what you consider strange results in your analog report, you 
should assume that there something strange going on with your web 
server, not that Analog is broken. In this case, the most like 
explanation is that one of your developers accessed the pages in 
question from home, or they sent a link to the page to someone else. 
That's a much more likely explanation than that Analog made a mistake.
