My primary question before delving into solving the
mysteries is this: are you running RIP between your
provider network and the customer network, and if so,
why?

Assertions:
If a customer is multihomed, the $40 linksys is no
longer the appropriate CPE device (clearly multihoming
is for resiliency, and the linksys is not exactly what
we'd call "high-availability" ;)

If a customer is singly-homed, why not statically
route them?  Let the routing protocol they run be
exclusive to their network.  If they're trying to do
some kind of load-balancing or failover mechanism, get
them to use something other than Layer-3 resiliency
(perhaps layer-7 resiliency?)

So, while the problems Cisco has with RIPv2 are
non-trivial, why are they impacting a production
network?
