It would help if you told us whether the addresses that show up in the log
(e.g. 147.174.1.5, 147.174.247.80, etc.) correspond to the VMS servers.

My first guess is that you may have had the Linux machines configured to
forward to the VMS machines.

Without more details about the configuration of the Linux boxes, it's
difficult to say much more.
