Sounds like a Cisco Router to me.

Because you have gotten an ICMP error message that includes an IP in the
data.

It _looks_ like you (68.50.185.xxx) sent something (ping?) to the 172
address and it was blocked by a router at the 203 address, this would be the
message returned.  Whether you actually sent such a packet I don't know,
seems if PF were keeping state this packet wouldn't be blocked if you had
sent the earlier packet.

Could it be that a packet to 172.17.217.168 took the default route and the
203 address is a border router?
