You can convert the time stamp to epoch time and compare with the one in the log entry.
I have cut the first two fields with space as delimiter and removed that unused number with comma as delimiter


Code:
START_UNIX_DATE=$(date -d"2011-02-04 11:11:12" +%s)
END_UNIX_DATE=$(date -d"2011-02-04 11:11:19" +%s)


while read line
do
	date=$(echo $line|cut -d " " -f1,2|cut -d "," -f1)
	UNIX_DATE=$(date -d"$date" +%s)
	
	if [ $UNIX_DATE -gt $START_UNIX_DATE -a $UNIX_DATE -lt $END_UNIX_DATE ]
	then
		echo $line >> $OUTPUT_LOG
		
	fi

done < logfile

This script runs for long time if you have thousands of line in the log file. So better grep the lines with dates first and then run the above code on the output of that.
