Or, perhaps just get Cisco to add an interface statement "leaf-subnet"
that is on by default, which prevents spoofing into that interface.

int fa0/1
     ip verify unicast reverse-path

does exactly that (in 11.1CC and 12.x images). It checks for spoofs with
a lookup in the forwarding table for each SOURCE address received on that
interface.

Generally, it's hard to automagically decide what a leaf subnet is, if
your router configurations are not by-the-book or there is asymmetric
routing in place.
