That's what the "preprocessor portscan2-ignorehosts:" and "preprocessor 
portscan-ignorehosts:" sections in the /etc/snort/snort.conf file are for. 
The issue of spoofed scan isn't really a big deal at all as you can't get the 
results of the scan delivered to your box. "Idle" scan won't work here either 
because my ISP's DNS servers are far from being idle with all the traffic 
going through. Basically the result of idle scan will be that all possible 
ports are open, that if the scanner itself will not warn you that the IP 
sequence numbers are not exactly close enough to each other. Comments?
