As I said, this is DSL, which to me implies always on. Each DSLAM port
only allows one IP address, this is set statically. The customer has a
static IP address assigned to him/her, which never changes over time. No
DHCP, nothing dynamic what so ever. If you want to make yourself
unreachable to one of our customers you blacklist their IP which is always
the same. Simple.

Now, how do we make the world understand this?
