"sa" is not a Windows account. It wouldn't show up in Windows Security event 
logs

Hard to say.  I had the SA account failing log in's every time a user got into 
an app.  didn't show in the DC event or the workstation event just the Error 
log of SQL.  So I ran the SQL Profiler and found the computer that was failing 
the log in. Mostly because I thought I might have a mouse in my pudding but 
found it was just a bad ODBC settings.  Dropped and add the ODBC connection and 
magically the app started worked (Not reported as an issue from the user) and 
the login failures stopped.

Thanks, I'll have our DBA give that a try and let you know how it goes.
Is it correct that these failed logons wouldn't show up in the DC's security 
logs if I'm auditing logon failures?

Run a SQL profiler trace and audit log on's for that account.
You can even audit log on failures.  This should give you the process that is 
screwing you up.
