Subject:	SCOUG-Help: a little remedial WHOIS 101, please

Content Type: text/plain

This might be one for Bob Blair.

I got several Probable Port Scan reports in the log of
my hardware firewall, the source reported as
218.59.124.78

The ARNIC WHOIS site (maybe not the best choice for
this ?) says that address is in Shandong, China. Even
I know about the existence of proxy servers, and the
possibility of faking or hijacking where your
nefarious activities are actually coming from. But
what are the odds some random 'Net attempted-B&E guy
is reaching out my way from China ?
