I've seen the following scan on some servers I admin for the last few days
from not only 207.46.106.84 but also a couple other systems in that /24
address space.  So far I've seen the version.bind hits about 50 times.  The
really wierd thing is:

we have two connections to the 'net
our dns servers are split across the connections
it's not a browser on the internal side triggering it as they're round
robined via squid out the two connections
ALL the attempts are to the same server.
