When requests come into IIS for various resources (.htm, .asp, .aspx, etc.),
IIS processes those requests as if a local user was asking. The IUSR
account is what IIS uses for most requests, but the ASPNET account is used
for .NET requests.

AFAIK, the 2 accounts aren't used in conjunction with each other, but each
account must have sufficient privledges to resources they might need to
access. For example, if you have an .aspx page that needs to access a SQL
Server DB using a trusted connection, the ASPNET account needs to be given
privledges to the SQL DB.
