forged ICMP packets?

Hi all;

I've been receiving strange ICMP requests from various addresses.  They
usually come in groups of three and I think they are forged because the id#
doesn't increment.  Is anyone else seeing this kind of traffic?

Also, I tracerouted st-3dns.obongo.com and it was 12-13 hops away, giving a
ttl of 64 (windows?).  The ttl for the 10.x.x.x packets is the same, so they
may be coming from the same box.  I have contacted my ISP about routing
private addresses; should I also report these to SANS and the owner of
st-3dns.obongo.com?

Thanks!

Kevin
