Yep, can be from service providers that, when someone hits a webpage they
host, they traceroute back to you to find out your physical location, then
point you to the closest mirror of that site.
Still worth a follow up email to the originating site if the scans are
annoying you. I consider such behaviour innapropriate... others may not.
