We have the same problem in our FTTH access network (due to L2 isolation CPE
can't directly ARP those in the same subnet), hence the vendor's move
towards MAC force forwarding (MACFF).

Time Warner (TWTC, not TWC) does the same thing... we have 8 addresses  
 from them... 131 - 138; it's a /24 and we get to use those 8 addresses.  
[Yes, that causes problems trying to access anything else in that /24]  I  
have no clue what's on the other end of that, and really don't care. (it's  
more or less bridged ethernet over a T1, that's also carrying voice.)
