	I think that I found the same page.  I agree with your assessment.  
The IP address that it is attempting to connect to is not found via 
traceroute and is registered to what appears to be a Russian ISP.  How 
odd....

	I'll be grabbing new source code and recompiling everything tomorrow.  
The box was running 4.7-Stable anyway.  :)  The troubling part is that 
the process claims to be /usr/sbin/nscd, but that file doesn't exist.  
I'll have to see how they did that with lsof, mergemaster, etc.
