My advice: Don't worry about it.

Whole blocks of IPs addresses are scanned continually - it's just the nets
background noise. It won't have any effect in itself, and if you are
properly patched and firewalled they can't hurt you.

No, *they* had 34 requests *from* that address.

Don't worry about it. It's just net noise.
