Fairly rude surprise in logs this AM -- possible DoS attempt?

Mon Jan 19 10:55:11 PST 2004

I'm in the habit of reviewing the previous day's logs for my home
DSL connection each morning -- mostly to get a feel for current
trends (fads in spam and the like).

One of the first logs I review is produced by the packet filter I use;
a typical day has maybe 80 - 120 lines in it for a given day; maybe as
much as a couple hundred lines.

This morning, the usual quota was augmented by 83610 lines that
were created during the period 13:03:28 - 16:47:15 yesterday (local
time), each from 62.58.50.220, dsbl.zonnet.nl.  (Note that there
are certain packets that I drop silently.)

I've sent a note summarizing the matter to abuse at zonnet.nl; we'll see
what happens.

Anyone else have similar experiences of late?

Peace,
david
