Fair assumption.  They may be doing that to prevent one Verizon customer 
from talking directly to another without routing through them first, 
even though each customer is on the same broadcast domain.

This is actually brilliant and hysterical at the same time: using a 
broken network tech to fix a broken network.  Ha!

I'm rebuilding the router with newer hardware this weekend.  I'll give

  Thanks for the idea!
