I'm seeing a reoccuring pattern where a system will sequentially scan a

(most likely NT since the IP is in a co-lo) system.

It'd be PC Anywhere, a VNC-ish remote management tool for Windows.  The
client scans what it believes to be the local subnet for PCA servers at
its registered port of UDP/5632.  The UDP/22 business is because the
first version of the product apparently got out the door before they
found out about network byte order; 22 is 5632 backwards.
