Well, if this isn't local - I'd say it's time to reconfigure your perimeter
router. Remember: INGRESS/EGRESS FILTERS!!! :-)

OTOH, the TTL:63 implies one-hop from the sender - so that implies a LAN
host...

Compaq Insight Manager has a lovely bug where laptops it's installed on
broadcast their services from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 (yeah, tell me how they
did that!) - but not on those port numbers...
