Thanks for the confirmation.  I've been running this for 2 years with only minor tweaks to the rulesets and this is the 
first time I've seen this.  It has hits on 4075 internal addresses.

We gotten a lot of alerts for that before.. and we actually have that in our disabled.conf file.

We got back and look at them semi often to see if we can work out the deal, but for now we have this disabled.
