Alright, so it seems we have a consensus here, spoofed UDP packets. I'm
sorry for the fire alarm, but I do appreciate everyone looking.

If folks notice UDP traffic destined to these two hosts that is not port
53, I'd love to hear about it:

Name:    PDNS5.ULTRADNS.INFO
Address:  204.74.114.1

Name:    PDNS1.ULTRADNS.NET
Address:  204.74.108.1

Cheers,
Nick
