OK, that's a good argument.

But anyway - if the original poster really wants to do this, he can, of 
course :-) without building a MPLS mess just to terminate all customers
on the same box.

Running the VLAN interfaces on the 6500s/7600s as "ip unnumbered" and
then using DHCP to get the routes to the customers into place should
do the job.
