Hi,

In this case I think you could configure Private VLANs, isolating each
customer in the same l3 network segment.
Private VLANs won't help you with ip-spoofing in the same subnet and
hsrp-attacks and not against arp attacks (but these can be prevented
using static arp-entries on the l3-device).

Out of curiosity, did your experience find that the issues were
related
to actual broadcast problems?

Generally, putting each customer into a dedicated layer 3 network
segment
is a good idea - because half of the attacks that a hacked server
belonging
to "customer 1" might do to a server from "customer 2" (ARP spoofing, IP address spoofing [-> blaim goes to customer 2], HSRP attacks to the
shared router, etc.) suddenly are no longer relevant at all.

... and *if* you need to ACL one customer, or just shut down their network segment (because they are busy attacking someone else), you
can be sure that it doesn't affect other customers ;-)
