mDNS is a broadcast/multicast protocol that is not routable normally. You
can check those hosts to see if they have anything attached to UDP 5353, as
that is the typical mDNS client port. I would be surprised, though, if what
you are seeing is mDNS.

I think it might be Bonjour?

A lot. Is there a utility like process explorer that can tell me the
subprocesses of svchost and the port they're using?

Can you give a tcpdump of the traffic?

I'm trying to understand why a number of client computers are sending UDP
500 traffic to strange places. For example, from one machine it is sending
traffic to 209.85.225.166 which is owned by Google. Netstat tells me that
the traffic is originating from SVCHOST.
I thought UDP 500 was used for IKE but is it also used for some sort of
keep
alive? I'm confused!
Thanks,
