    I have been receiving the following entries at my firewall for since
    noon US Eastern Time (-5:00) on 12/4/01.
    
    They have been coming every 15 minutes since then.  I notified the owner
    of the IP's and he hasn't responded yet.
    
    Does anyone recognize this and could possibly fill me in on some
    theories...
    
    (Note: I have edited out source and dest. IP info)  I just want to know
    if anyone recognizes the pattern...
