[Snort-users] (spp_frag3) Short fragment, possible DoS attempt

After upgrading to version 2.4.3 we are getting alot of (spp_frag3) Short 
fragment, possible DoS Attempt alerts.  These alerts are only between two 
internal hosts (a Redhat AS server and an old Digital Alpha).  The alerts are 
being triggered by NFS traffic between the two hosts.  Since this seems to be a 
preprocessor engine that is detecting this traffic, can snort.conf be modified 
to ignore these packets and how would I go about doing this?

Thanks In advance
