Re: All alerts have src/dest as 0.0.0.0

[twig les <twigles () yahoo com>]

This probably isn't what is going on with you, but I
got FLOODED with the 0.0.0.0:0->0.0.0.0:0 alerts a
while back and after firing up tcpdump -X src 0.0.0.0
it told me in no uncertain terms that we were getting
malformed packets from our firewall (I had to follow
the MAC addresses, not fun).  When I looked thru the
logs, it turned out that our firewall vendor had
upgraded their OS (or whatever they call that thing)
right when the alerts started.
