I just took a closer look at something odd I'd noticed several days ago. 
One of our DNS servers was sending crazy amounts of ARP requests for IPs 
in the /24 its main IP is in.  What I've found is we're getting hit with 
DNS requests that look like they're from "typical internet traffic for 
someone in China" hitting this DNS server from IPs in its /24 which are 
currently not in use (at least on our local network).  It would appear 
someone in China is using our IP space, presumably behind a NAT router, 
and they're leaking some traffic non-NAT'd.

Why was this traffic hitting your DNS server in the first place?  It should
have been rejected by the ingress filters preventing spoofing of the local
network.
