Thanks to all. For now I've stopped it using iptables. I tried stopping it at my router without success, yet another reason to replace it! I will also report it to abuse@covad.net.
Great. Scott can tell you whether or not if you switch to IPCop as your Firewall/Router, that would stop it. As I recall, IPCop considers things originating within your LAN OK, and things from outside as suspicious.
I don't run my servers through IPCop. It is just for internet access and office to office tunnels. It is a lot easier to set up and do things then the Siemens T1 router I am stuck with at the demark. Its firewall language seems just different enough to give me fits when I use it. And I don't hose everything with one fat-fingered typo.
