Syslog message from pix

Hey Everyone,

I'm seeing alot of this message on my pix, but can't find a good explanation:

Is this a possible port scan?? Also is it more important to look at the src port or the dst port when looking at syslog files?

I'm seeing a bunch of these messages during off hr. Is this a possible DoS attack?

So far I looked the IP's up in DNSSTUFF.com and added a shun command to the pix for the address. ...am I over reacting, because the traffic is being blocked by the pix

Sorry, not done much with SYSLOG on the pix (its one of my next jobs to configure it all). Anyhow, not sure about the first part of the question without researching it which unfortunatley i aint got time at the mo as i am onsite fixing an AD Replication issue.

The second bit is the ICMP code for Time Exceeded.

If you take a look at this article it tells ya what can cause this situatation so its probably ok traffic.
