okay. and that someone is at 172.149.223.27, right? so i can
figure out from that ip which domain they're in:

	% whois 172.149.223.27
	America Online, Inc. (NETBLK-AOL-172BLK)
	   12100 Sunrise Valley Drive
	   Reston, VA 20191
	   US

	   Netname: AOL-172BLK
	   Netblock: 172.128.0.0 - 172.191.255.255
	   Maintainer: AOL
	[snip]

no surprise there.

so now here's the BIG mystery --

Apr  8 17:59:48 server kernel: Packet log:
	input DENY eth1 PROTO=1 192.168.241.180:4
	208.33.90.85:0 L=56 S=0x00 I=12140 F=0x4000 T=240 (#4)

where did THIS packet come from? 192.168.241.180 ? that's an
intranet ip, a localnet / lan address, theoretically from
somewhere inside the building. but all we've got inside here
is 192.168.1.* !!

ideas?
