From 128.183.92.241 Port 312 to 128.183.255.255 port 312.  What's running
on that port, and what broken operating system is 128.183.92.241 running?

This one's more weird.  It's right of linux to log it, though, it's
unlikely that a packet claiming to come from 0.0.0.0 can actually be
valid, but the error linux logs isn't likely to be the actual error,
there's some more fundamental error, probably, which you'll probably need
a wizard and his sword (tcpdump) to find.
