I have seen PlanetLab experiments doing this. What are the originating

Three observed source addresses

      208.78.169.237
      204.11.51.62
      194.199.24.101

Source ports are high and non-repeating.  Other than the domain root, 
A-record queries for "google.com" and for hostnames which appear to be 
on the same subnet as the querying host.

Hmmm. All the PlanetLab nodes should have valid reverse DNS, which isn't
the case here, so I guess it is something more malicious.
