[cobalt-users] DCC - was: Possible attack?



Good morning all,

Our Co-lo firewall admin informed me today that I am getting a lot of deny's as listed below. Is this an attempted attack? What to do?

216.68.107.
162:6277 64.42.222.18:3557 L=136 S=0x00 I=13516 F=0x0000 T=49 (#1)
Nov 12 23:30:04 polaris kernel: Packet log: inet-in DENY eth0 PROTO=17
207.8.219.2
18:6277 64.42.222.18:3557 L=136 S=0x00 I=62307 F=0x0000 T=46 (#1)

>>> snip <<<

I looked up the ip's and some were things like dcc.etherboy.com - on investigation of http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/ I find they are indeed all listed here as active dcc servers so I guess I know what it is now.

Question... should I ask my co-lo to open port 3557 for me? As I am indeed using DCC as part of the SolarSpeed Anti Spam Package.
