There are multiple different instances of this traffic, the pattern seems to be:

-The source is always 'my own IPs' and obviously spoofed.
-It's DNS traffic
-The "source addresses" all seem to be randomly chosen from the same /23 as the destination address (they cycle through 
randomly).

Has anyone else noticed anything similar coming in on their transit links or am I just lucky?

I posted the same thing June 16, 2010.  Search for

If you can capture some of the traffic and see what the DNS requests are, that would let you see if its the same sort of issue I was seeing or something different.
