ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is the broadcast address.  That looks like a rather 
mundane arp request broadcast followed by a reply from the machine with 
the address in question.

The trick will be to see if you see anything with tcpdump at the time 
one of the syslog messages about 0.0.0.0 gets logged.

BTW, just for the record, personally I doubt this is anything serious to 
worry about, but as I have no real evidence for that feeling....  You 
may, however, find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0 at least mildly 
interesting.
