so long as you are sure they aren't spoofed, yes.
A recent post by Rob Thomas said, "I've tracked 1787 DDoS attacks since 01 JAN 2003. Of that number, only 32 used spoofed sources. I rarely see spoofed attacks now."
Thats about 1%. Of the few attacked directed at us and originating from our customers, that generally jives. What number are you seeing ?
More and more there is less and less spoofing, its just not required and it causes more damage with less effort :( Why spoof when you have 1000 machines pumping 1 packet per second? (or 10)
