Sully, Doesn't the switch in front of your router allow broadcast traffic to mix (like Netbios), that is unless you are using trunking (VLAN's whatever you want to call the layer 3 stuff).. I mean, isn't the switch going to see that traffic from the port is detined back to the same port so it goes ahead and broadcasts since its in the same broadcast domain?
