Then how about this on the gateway (ie. router to which the misconfigured one is connected):
ip route 255.255.255.255 interface loopback ip address 255.255.255.255 This still screws up the packets that go through the gateway router and were targeted to one of the two addresses in question, but that should be OK as that can't be user data (since they are going to routers).
