Just for the sake of curiosity, can you reveal what kind of targets are being hit by these fake requests?
The networks are all listed in my post; however, I didn't save the actual target IPs that caused me to block those networks.

Ironically, ost of them turned out to be the web sites of companies offering DDoS mitigation services or appliances. Several others were web hosting and co-lo service companies.

Currently, there is this address: 66.249.17.112

dig tells me:

Code:
vaxman@Satellite:~$ dig -x 66.249.17.112 ; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> -x 66.249.17.112 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 1203 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;112.17.249.66.in-addr.arpa.

Looks like a hosting site.
