[cobalt-users] Portsentry Queston Port 161



I've got portsentry running and had a message from the log report that I'd
had a probe on the SNMP port 161... and it blocked them.. one problem, the
probe was from my server farm's IP block.. Could this be interpreted as a
possible "should have happened" query by the farm and their DNS service?
(Apr 12 03:06:02 www portsentry[529]: attackalert: Connect from host:
nat-151-100.lixxxxm.net/2xx.1xx.1xx.1xx to UDP port: 161 <xx's are my
edit>) Or should I assume that someone has a box in their system comprimised?

I did order an additional domain added to my virt list yesterday... Since
they handle the DNS for the box... do I need to leave this port open for
them? Or should I be asking this question of them (probably both here and
there would not hurt I guess)

Anyway... TIA..
