All MS SQL servers listen to 1434 reguardless of the other ports they listen
on. Depending on configuration depends on what other ports it uses (due to
various security models), but 1434 is a constant in all configurations
according to a quick search and a read on the last MS SQL vulnerability
found in 7/2002.

Thanks, I have blocked the infected hosts in my customer colo space. Its an eye opener how much traffic they generate on the local collision domain they are on :-(
