BTW, I figured this out.  The UDP connection attempt is a result of 
having the "trace" option in bb-hosts enabled.  The traceroute will 
attempt a UDP connection to port 33435 on the failed server, then follow 
up with UDP conns to ports 33436 & 33437.  The port I listed in my 
message above was from the Hobbit server, which has varied each time and 
thus didn't match anything obvious.

I'm just throwing this out there in case someone else runs a tcpdump on 
their hobbit server, with the "trace" option in effect, and can't figure 
out why some weird UDP traffic shows up after a system fails the conn 
test!  ;)
