Same results here, shut down SQL problem went away... started it back
up.. problem started again, so I shut them all down.  One side note all
the egress traffic headed out UU.NET, not our CW or Sprint DS3's...
since we have full routes from all carriers this may be an indicator of
the destination.  Too bad I have a 700MB netflow file I cannot load or
parse or I might be able to provide more detailed information as to a
destination.

Same symptoms here. After disabling MS SQL, which required a reboot as
the process didn't want to shut down normally, the traffic stopped. I
found 3 boxes on our network that were generating massive amounts of
traffic, all of which run MS SQL.
