Actually, you can hide a group of IIS servers behind load-balancers from F5 Networks, Foundary Networks or even an old Cisco Local Director, coupled with a nice strong firewall, and make it very difficult to finger-print the OS by IP Stack. Theres a good chance that this is why you see "unknown OS" in a some of the entries - no guarantees though.
