Abuse by Dod?

[Daniel B. Thurman]

Sorry, false alarm.  I discovered what it was....
It was the Redhat Up2date applet that periodically
is checks for new updates.  I guess the dnsstuff
IP reverse maps is a bit out of date and the IP
address appeared to come from the DOD.  Ah well,
live and learn...

Errg... I installed Firestarter on FC4 and was wondering
why my HD and network was thrashing around and checking the
active connection page revealed:

Source-----------------Destination-----------------Port------Service-----Program
207.132.177.100   [my FC4 IP address]    443       HTTPS    python

I stopped this "attack" by disabling HTTPS protocol in the policy
tab and that stopped the attack.  Geez, now what do I do to stop
whomeever is doing it so that my HTTPS is available?

I tracked the network owner and fired off an abuse complaint
to: abuse at nic.mil but like this is gonna work.  Hmm.... maybe
the Homeland Security is gonna come after me...  heh heh.

Does anyone care to know what is going on?
