False portscan alerts

Rune
Hi Forum

I have en small, but annoying problem that I was hoping you could through some light on.
Several times a day I receive a message, telling me I am being port scanned.  -  This coming from my own servers.
Loking in the logs, it appears to be legitimate traffic. 

Here is an example off normal windows-traffic.
 Code:

2006:03:20-00:23:32 (none) ulogd[2660]: PORTSCAN: IN=eth0 OUT=eth4.10 MAC=00:04:23:c6:90:98:00:0f:1f:67:37:74:08:00 SRC=212.88.93.83 DST=10.10.1.21 LEN=190 TOS=00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=31937 PROTO=UDP SPT=4549 DPT=389 LEN=170
2006:03:20-00:35:33 (none) ulogd[2660]: PORTSCAN: IN=eth0 OUT=eth4.10 MAC=00:04:23:c6:90:98:00:0f:1f:67:37:74:08:00 SRC=212.88.93.83 DST=10.10.1.21 LEN=190 TOS=00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=32188 PROTO=UDP SPT=4568 DPT=389 LEN=170
2006:03:20-01:11:41 (none) ulogd[2660]: PORTSCAN: IN=eth0 OUT=eth4.10 MAC=00:04:23:c6:90:98:00:0f:1f:67:37:74:08:00 SRC=212.88.93.83 DST=10.10.1.21 LEN=190 TOS=00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=32931 CE PROTO=UDP SPT=4623 DPT=389 LEN=170
2006:03:20-01:59:51 (none) ulogd[2660]: PORTSCAN: IN=eth0 OUT=eth4.10 MAC=00:04:23:c6:90:98:00:0f:1f:67:37:74:08:00 SRC=212.88.93.83 DST=10.10.1.21 LEN=190 TOS=00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=34160 CE PROTO=UDP SPT=4728 DPT=389 LEN=170
2006:03:20-06:36:54 (none) ulogd[2660]: PORTSCAN: IN=eth0 OUT=eth4.10 MAC=00:04:23:c6:90:98:00:0f:1f:67:37:74:08:00 SRC=212.88.93.83 DST=10.10.1.20 LEN=78 TOS=00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=40568 CE PROTO=UDP SPT=1267 DPT=53 LEN=58
 
 

Do you have any suggestions regarding how to eliminate these false alerts without disabling the feature totally?

Regards

    If your servers are behind the Astaro Firewall you can exclude the internal network from port scan detection: Have a look at this screenshot. If you put in these rules, you won't get any false-positives from the internal network:
