A reverse DNS look-up gives =>

$ host 24.14.77.8
8.77.14.24.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer ha1.svc1.tx.home.com>


UDP port 68 (according to /etc/services) is =>

bootpc          68/tcp                          # BOOTP client
bootpc          68/udp

That doesn't look like a "monitoring the customer" type scan.
