Jeff,

Aside from the scanning order this sounds remarkably like a bug that we're battling right now. It's taken out about 150 or so of of our hosts. As of right now we don't know what the bug is, but we deployed a honeypot yesterday to try to capture the malware and see if we can ID the beast.

It appears to be a Gaobot derivative.  Changes the home page to be
<semi-random-chars>.t.muxa.cc. Google for muxa.cc and you'll get some pointers.
