It looks like the "xx.xx.xx.xx" ip address belongs to a Name server, and
it is attempting to make a connection on your DNS port. Because this
server is using UDP, it does not appear to be malicious. Are you running
any kind of a DNS server? Is this Name server your ISP's name server. If
the PROTO=6, and it is of a TYPE SYN, you would be justified in your
apprehension. Run a "nslookup q=txt" on the machine, and see if you
recognize it. Is the interface, eth1, an external interface? Do some
sleuthing, you might be surprised at what you come up with...
