I haven't found much co-relation between what dshield usually shows and 
the traffic that we get. It is very possible that these packets are 
specifically targetted against our servers. I was trying to make sure 
that this is not a known attack vector or a developing attack path.

Glad to know that no one else is seeing this problem.

What I am getting is a lot of SYN packets to port 8041. Nothing else yet.
