Weird Trackback HTTP POST In WordPress

    I am having this really weird issue. I have confirmed it with both my WordPress 2.3.3 install as well as my wordpress.com blog. For some reason WordPress is making a HTTP POST against my blog post for Trackbacks, but the trackback is never recorded. Pings work perfectly by the way. This is an example from my log of a typical trackback request:

    POST /index.php/2008/02/multiple-rdp-godaddy-server-connections/ - 80 - HTTP/1.1 WordPress/MU

    The server is returning 200 OK with the standard output of the blog post just as if it was a GET request.

    This doesn’t seem like normal behavior. Especially since the specific trackback URL is never touched according to my logs:
    /index.php/2008/02/multiple-rdp-godaddy-server-connections/trackback/

    By the way I do get trackbacks in the form of SPAM, and legit trackbacks from other blogging software, so they are working. It is just wordpress doesn’t seem to be working correctly on my machine.

    This is a Windows 2003 Server with IIS and FastCGI. Is there anything that I can check?
