Hi Russel,

have seen similar probing (only port 524, 137 
is not monitored).

Over the last week or so I have picked up three
machines probing for
udp 137 and tcp 524.  Probes appear to be to 
random address in our
address space (some are in use, many not) and 
occur at random time
intervals, mean around an hour but with some
long intervals suggesting
that the machine was powered off.

All machines are in 130.0.0.0/8 as are we.  

Funny enough: have seen dome probes from
134.0.0.0/8 as we are, but not only.

Some logs:
