Does this look familiar?

Hi,

I have two interesting traffic patterns showing up on my firewall logs..

1.  A few inside machines trying to intiate connections to IP addresses
(216.33.199.78 for example) administered by somebody called Exodus.com on
port 17027.

2.  A number of external IP addresses trying to connect to my firewall on
port 113 (Authentication Service?)

I would like to know if anyone else has seen this and has any explanation.
The firewall is blocking the 17027 connects and notifying me of the
starngeness, but that is because we recently changed firewalls and
significantly tightened the rules on outbound connections.  I'm half
tempted to open the service and sniff the traffic that happens over the
connection.


Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated.
