Large increase in port 32772 activity

All,

Several of our customers are seeing very significant increase in port
32772 activity. They are single packets of which I do not have the size.
One customer had over 1500 different hosts sending a single packet to
32772 in a 6 hour period. The vast majority of those hosts were probably
zombies since they were Verizon DSL, Comcast, AT&T ip addresses. I know
spammers look for 32772 to be open because Checkpoint can use this port
for SMTP. 

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,
