Thank you all for your responses. To answer some of the questions - We
were seeing these scans/attacks across the entire breadth of one of our
class B subnets. Below you will find some of the source subnets for
these attacks:

63.120.163.0/24 "Tech Engine" - New York, USA
165.194.0.0/16 "Chungyang University" - Seoul, Korea
202.56.228.0/24 "Bharti British Telecom" - New Delhi, India
203.199.121.0/24 "ISP Link in Mumbai" - India
210.68.146.0/24 "Digital United Inc" - Taipei, Taiwan
210.69.0.0/16 "Chunghwa Telecom" - Taipei, Taiwan
210.178.195.0/24 "Yangpyong Technical High School" - Korea

Our policies prohibit me from disclosing the measures we took to stop
these attacks. I hope to provide packet captures later under separate
cover. We would be very interesting in seeing Sans or SecurityFocus
provide a site to list "dirty subnets" - those subnets from which we see
repeated attacks and receive no response to our complaints.

Cheers,
-Doug
