It looks like they added another new scanning computer.  They were using 
jsl5 (129.57.71.15) which I blocked at the opsnet router interface.  We 
have asked them not to scan the opsnet at all but something gets 
misconfigured/reconfigured and the next thing you know they are scanning 
it again.  I guess I will have to block this machine also.
