Its more likely people that just haven't updated their query tools like ASE, gamespy etc. All of which will get the server list from the master then query the servers will the old protocol. It even looks like some of the masters have yet to be updated ( no surprise after ASE was purchased by Yahoo and we all know what they are like ).

Also after playing with this for a little while, I basically figured out that these strange connections are probably people on the internet that have Virus's or spam on there computers and are broadcasting looking for others to infect. I am not sure if this means anything or not to anyone, but it's probably worth someone that is more knowledgable than I, try the same type of test and see what they think...
