I found out I had to do a
chkconfig --del avahi-daemon
as root, to disable the deamon.

Yeah, No idea why the
mdns 5353/tcp # Multicast DNS
mdns 5353/udp # Multicast DNS
packets, unless it is the avahi crap running. Do stop the avahi
services from running.

You see/find default port assignments in /etc/services

Looking around in my router's firewall, I noticed verizon has set it to
drop 224.0.0.0/240.0.0.0 all protocols.

You will have to look into just droping those without logging so as to
not fill up you disk with those messages.



Oh, by the way, your script is missing a line to dump fedora's leases file.
Just search for the next line, and add the one after it.

tail_fn /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth${nic}.leases
tail_fn /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth{nic}.leases <========
tail_fn /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth${nic}.info
