    here is another weired scan...

    Slow scan (average 1 packet per hour in our /16 address space) to
    appearantly random IPs.  What they hope to acheive with the source
    address I can not imagine, even if we were not blocking 515 they are
    not going to get any replies.  My guess is that it is just someone
    playing silly buggers and trying to trip IDS.
    
    Examination of the MAC addresses indicates they really are coming from
    our gateway router.
    
    TTL is constant 227 for all the packets I have look at.
    
    Ahhh... I have just found one of these addressed to another quite
    unrelated /24 that I monitor:
    
    17 Apr 01 06:52:37    tcp 255.255.255.255.31337  ->     202.37.88.193.515   S_
    
    Looks like this stuff is getting sprayed at random across the whole
    address space.
