Taking action on exploit attempts

Asking this as a general opinion of experienced users... Just now I see I have had about 40 hits in one second for the rule 1:16008, which corresponds to CVE-2007-6239:WEB-MISC Multiple Products excessive HTTP 304 Not Modified responses exploit attempt<http://www.snort.org/search/sid/16008> In this particular case, do I need to do anything? What does general wisdom say in this regard? - should such one-off hits be taken seriously and some action be taken, like blocking the source IP? (well I just run Snort in IDS mode, so I cant actually take any action, but wanted to know this to have more understanding of this) Or should admins usually wait to see repeated hits before deciding that this is not some false trigger but an actual alert? Thanks
