You could try disconnecting that router and see who screams. :-)

Subject: security concern - ESX host repeatedly hitting external IP...

We’re getting ready to decommission an old router, and almost all of the
traffic to and through it (except broadcast) has stopped. I'm reviewing the
syslog, and keep seeing this:
 
9/16/2010 8:36:50 AM [Internal Router Private IP Address] Informational
SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP 651364: 44w0d: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list permit_any
permitted udp [ESX Private IP Address](0) -> 72.18.205.156(0), 1 packet
 
I've asked our VMware admin to look over his host configuration to make sure
he isn’t pointing to the old router, but he says everything is "fine."
 
Anyone else seen this or have any ideas as to why I'm seeing this traffic?
 
Upon Googling said IP Address, it appears that it may be part of
pool.ntp.org, but I cannot confirm this. This host is located in Warminster,
PA, according to some sites.
