Thanks to everyone who responded... the verdict is definitely dshield. I was considering making it standard practice to block these addresses at my firewall and update on a weekly basis. I'm interested in what others think about this - recommended/valuable or not? So far I haven't seen that the list of addresses at dshield match any of those that are portscanning us but I figured it couldn't hurt.
