Below is some information that may be of interest.  One thing you should
note is the port number being used on the IP numbers.

I don't know the format of the log entry, so I'm guessing that an entry
has a source and destination IP.

I would think from that with the IP for dontuthink.com/serensoft.com that
you shouldn't be seeing those packets.  But it looks like you're on a
cable and only the ISP knows what IPs are out there on that particular
cable.
