I have similar situation but from different hosts and different ports
In my case I consider this as DoS form two networks running win New
Technology
I even contacted the rep. of the companies but they laugh in my face.
all these are from Canadian UUNet network
Or maybe I'm bit parano....

Subject: DNS UDP Dos Attack?


Hello,

 I am receiving ton of attempted UDP connections to an internal host.
Connecting to this host is stopped at my firewall, but my firewall is
paying a stiff price. I have seen the available memory on my firewall
go down my 1-2 Mbg per minute while it trys to block all this traffic.

Has anyone seen systems trying to reach a DNS host via UDP to port
42326?

Here is a snippet of log files.

UDP out 209.10.34.23:8541 in 209.11.137.71:42326 idle 0:32:24 flags -

Thanks for any help!
