<many very good questions regarding RIP capabiliities snipped>

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?
