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.
