I have seen this before. At my work we have a business class "cable modem". In their infinite wisdom they activated a feature on their network called "MAC address accountability" (don't ask, I have no idea what this means) and our connection instantly started having major issues with CARP type IP addresses. I could plug a Mac in and it would be just fine. Sadly this took over a week and a half of my life whereas the ISP was blaming my firewall. After staying on their ass ensuring them it was not a firewall issue they finally resolved the issue but it took the technical support folks to get in their car and drive to the datacenter to get the very knowledgeable 4th level folks off their asses and fix it. This sounds very similar to the drama that I went through.
