Then your config doesn't match your network. You are obviously 
getting packets from another subnet, your don't have a declaration 
for that subnet, so you get log entries to tell you. Nothing strange 
about that.

Again, not odd, you have something in your network that is forwarding 
packets which you didn't expect. You need to understand your network 
before you can understand the services running on it.
