Just out of interest, because I run some services on OVH, I know what that term 
means. When you rent a dedicated server from OVH you are assigned a single IPv4 
address. Let's assume that you then want to use VMware or Hyper-V on that 
dedicated server to run some VMs - for many of those VMs you'll obviously want 
a distinct public IPv4 address. So OVH assign you what they term a "failover" 
block of IPv4 addresses. I don't know why they use that term, I just know that 
they do! So really it's just confirmation that it's an OVH customer (running a 
VM on a dedicated server) that is either the source IP or the spoofed target.

Best,
Richard.
