Is it safe to assume this is some sort of attack on our IRC server?

Mar 27 04:19:14 irc kernel: ICMP: cannot handle TOS redirects yet!
Mar 27 04:19:17 irc last message repeated 340 times

Would it break something if we tried to log the address of the source?

	printk(KERN_INFO "ICMP redirect from %s\n",in_ntoa(source));
        ip_rt_redirect(source, ip, icmph->un.gateway, dev);
        break;
case ICMP_REDIR_NETTOS: 
case ICMP_REDIR_HOSTTOS:
        printk(KERN_INFO "ICMP: cannot handle TOS redirects yet!\n");
        break;

Why not change it to:
printk(KERN_INFO "ICMP: cannot handle TOS redirect from %s\n",in_ntoa(source));
