To clarify, what I intended to say was if you filter all the IP addresses that do not belong to you from the Ethernet side of your routers outgoing traffic. The problems with spoofed or bogus IP addresses coming from your net blocks go away. If all Internet connected entities did this then this would make it possible to find and get the systems administrators to have the zombies patched failing that the zombie machines could be null routed. This would also assist in tracking down hackers, port scanners, and other criminal types who currently have free reign over your network with spoofed addresses.
