Spooky traffic from a loopback address?

[Clinton Smith <security () infosecwest com>]

Greetings all,

I have begun to see sparse connections of the following nature:
127.0.0.2:HIGHPORT --> 192.168.0.1:80 (SYN)
3 or 4 at a time coming from an internet gateway.

I have read the following:

Q Has anyone seen this type of packet or am I just seeing
badly configured network devices?

Kind Regards,
Clinton
