As a general rule, when a Linux box receive a packet sourced with one of
its adresses, it is silently discarded at routing process. So your INPUT
stuff should not see the packet coming.
Furthermore, if reverse path filtering (rp_filter) is enabled, then
martians are automaticly discarded, before they get to INPUT or FORWARD.
