Today the server was reported to have made a SYN attack against some network
at a college.  A few days ago a man emailed me complaining that the server
was probing port 53 on his computer.  The box has 1 static IP and isn't a
gateway, so no other computers are permitted to use its IP address.

Thanks for the suggestions ... i'm going to start locking down tomorrow.
