ok - so I did a shutdown and traffic subsided.
Once they were all back on I saw traffic again.
I created new firewall rules to allow all LAN->WAN traffic and log entries.
This let me see all of the traffic.
From there I was able to decern that there was significant traffic attempts on arbitray ports to many foriegn countries from a specific workstation.
I believe one of the machines may be part of a bot net.
I will research futher and scan the suspect machine but I think the mystery is solved.
thanks for your assistance.
