Logging denies will fill up your log anyway. Packets arriving for a dialup user after he/she hangs up fall through to the default route back out of the box. They are then _outbound_ packets with source address off the network and destination address on the network.
That depends how your network is setup. Ours would have the route going to Null0, so it wouldn't be shot back out via the default route. This hides any internal instability from being announced to the outside world except in /extreme/ cases. (Like we fall completely off the net). Why would you want the packet transiting back and forth across your T-1 until the TTL expires anyway? Much better to black hole the sucker.
