Check the files in your DH WORK_DIR (grep them) for one of the subnodes. 
The number after the : indicates the number of hack attempts DH detected. 
If this number seems incorrect, check your SECURE_LOG for that IP address 
to determine if they were legit or not.  If DH incorrectly identified them 
as attacks then your SECURE_LOG is likely in an unusual format.

You may also want to stop DH, remove the IP address(es) from the WORK_DIR 
files, and the IP's to WORK_DIR/allowed-hosts and restart DH.

Phil
