if the isp does not care about people wasting your bandwidth pay your isp less 
by the cost of the amount of bandwidth consumed by the attacks estimate on the 
extravagent side accompined by a request to null route this ip address at a 
minimum. get your lawyer to talk to them if then do not respond!

that sure got their attention! just keep this up but after informing the isp 
that if they cannot protect your network then you would have to take active 
steps to protect your network which includes all the network scanning and 
namapping etc


-best of luck in dealing with the isp
