Im looking for help tracing this attack down. Its coming from my network with 
spoofed IPs to 216.200.108.194 IP which is not on my network so its and 
outbound attack. Also none of the source IPs are on my network. 

I'm no expert, but ...

Can you configure your IDS to pick up the card address of the source, or
would that only give you an internal router?  Even that might help, I
suppose.  You could then move inside that router's space, do it again,
and continue until you had narrowed the suspects to a manageable number.

I don't envy you your challenge!
