[olug] port scan from dns?????????

[Mike McNally]

Do these lines that appeared in my kern.log immediately after going online indicate a little 
harmless intrusion from my dns IP: 198.83.19.241 initiated by my isp, or is it an attack?
And how do you tell the difference?  Thanks.  I still need to get around to reading more from
the ipchainshowto... but this set of denials was particularly long, so I'm a little concerned.
Normally port 1025 is scanned, but I tried putting netcat on port 1025 and then the scan or 
whatever, from the dns would come in on 1026...?????????  Thanks in advance.
