16113 in a week???
ZA is doing it's job so there is nothing to worry about, but I would review
the logs to see just what the heck is going on.
Perhaps you are blocking a normal communication causing a lot of hits, or
perhaps there are a few dirty computers scanning your block of IP's.
Maybe you got an IP of someone that was running a server, maybe script
kiddie.... <shrug>

I am sure some will say they get a lot more hits than that, but for me, that
is much higher than what is necessary for the net to function.
It is after all, using YOUR bandwidth.
