Thanks everyone for the input. I've seen some very good responses, and this NANOG newbie appreciates the take... :-) -----Original Message----- From: Nick Olsen [mailto:nick@flhsi.com] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2011 1:05 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Synology Disk DS211J It's updates, I've got a 1511+ here and at the office.

Hey all.
A little off topic, but wanted to share... I purchased a home storage
Synology DS1511+. After configuring it on the home net, I did some captures
to look at the protocols, and noticed that the DS1511+ is making outgoing
connections to 59.124.41.242 (www) and 59.124.41.245 (port 81 & 89) on a
regular basis. These addresses are owned by Synology and Chungwa Telecom in
Taiwan.
So far, I've not been able to find much information on their support sites,
or Synology's wiki, but I wanted to put it out there.
Maybe it's for checking new firmware update availability... -- Pierre-Yves Maunier
