Apache, under heavy load, can sometimes make mistakes in logging -- putting
log entries in the wrong files or storing stale entries (yesterday's requests
in today's files). However, on a significantly loaded Apache server, virtual
hosts are probably split out of the access logs by a separate script. This is
more likely where the error ocurred. Again, probably do to load at the time
of the request. I wouldn't be surprised to find all those domains hosted on
your server.

If they aren't hosted on your server, then there's a (global) DNS problem
showing up: For some reason these other sites have been directed to your IP
address, and Apache is responding as requested (assuming that you host the
names). These two

    2:  0.04%: 24/Apr/00 22:01: http://www.heise.de/
show up because '/' is valid on yoru server. The other two are failures
because those pages don't exists on your server.
