but the packets are injected into the Internet from another location entirely.
On that note, most data-centers nowadays have routers do SRC IP checks, and do not allow the traffic through if it doesn't match that interfaces assigned address.. it would probably more useful to somehow find the company which allows this traffic, and make them update their routers.
The words "somehow" and "make" are doing an awful lot of work there.
Also, even if you spoof the IP, shouldn't the MAC address still be the one of the server from which the packets originated (unless it's spoofed too)?
MAC addresses are link-local addresses, and as such are never seen outside of the broadcast domain (ie the local LAN) they're used on.
