Believe it or not I did (once) get that to happen with a US based server
because I found the owner (not IT savy) who leaned on his IT people and
made them find the infected server.

OK, while analyzed this stream, since you surely mirror your ports and
log it to a logging server, what did you find.
As far as I understand your logged message, the firewall dropped evil
Rick with the IP 192.168.248.213 (RFC1918!) to open a communication to
server 216.87.188.9 on port 21 (ftp auth).
The crappy sonicwall thinks this might be a bounce attack, so go to evil
Rick this is the guy you need to hunt.

home-pwp.ccres.tpa.affinity.com ::= 216.87.188.9
is the one listening for the bounce - same name as I, so he must be a
good guy and is more liable to be the victim (of zombie attack) than the
bad guy ;-)

The Arwin listing phone number is NIS!

(Not In Service)

Heck, maybe it is a honey pot that just goes out looking for possible
zombies on other systems.

Ah, in '07 Affinity was taken over by Hostway of Chicago - the plot
thickens.

No, impossible how can that be, maybe a name attack blocked by your
sonicwall.

And what exactly makes it now more suspicious.

No it's the illuminati, first they attack your sonicwall since they know
that you are able to following their tracks, as long as you try to
understand what sonicwall says in it's stupid email message they overtake
the world, tonight!

I guess you just try to troll or maybe you have the wrong job.
