Dodgy-ness.... on RCN's behalf! BGP filtering of Bogons and Martians
would prevent this from going outside of most if not all local AS's.

laptop:~ doduibhi$ whois -h whois.cymru.com "207.172.15.67"
AS       | IP               | AS Name
6079    | 207.172.15.67    | RCN-AS - RCN Corporation

RCN doing some monkey magic....
