I set up a copy of nginx returning 404s on that port.  After a few thousand
requests, here are the hostnames it is trying to hit:

    4655 ib.adnxs.com
    2193 ad.globe7.com
    1705 ads.creafi-online-media.com
    1149 ad.tagjunction.com
     767 ad.yieldmanager.com
     259 an.z5x.net
     184 ad.z5x.net
     123 ad.xertive.com
     115 ib.reachjunction.com
      80 tags1.z5x.net
      72 ad.bharatstudent.com
      71 ad.reduxmedia.com
      23 ad.smxchange.com
      18 opt.cdxndirectopt.com
      10 www.xtendadvert.com

It might be worth digging up the security contact for at least the top few
of those and give them a heads up.

And the /24s that have sent at least 100 requests (of 811 unique IPs from 122
/24s):

     116 64.31.48.0/24
     114 173.234.153.0/24
     113 74.63.255.0/24
     113 108.177.183.0/24
     112 69.162.75.0/24
     108 208.115.246.0/24
     103 74.63.199.0/24
     100 63.143.59.0/24

These are very unlikely to have been spoofed, as they were from completed 
TCP connections.
