Nice idea but it seems that Verizon blocks the necessary icmp traffic 
for that to work. Looks like I may have to either use an external server 
such as Russell suggests, or write some scripts to grep the IP address 
out of ifconfig and send a message with that info over to the downstream 
routers. They have password-protected embedded web servers (can't 
control the passwords) but I can probably figure out how to stick the IP 
info into one of the server error pages. Not the end of the world.

Thanks,

Tom S.
