	On a router with full routes (ie: no default) the command
is:

Router(config-if)#ip verify unicast source reachable-via any 

	Go ahead and try it out.  you can view the resulting
drop counter via the 'show ip int <x/y>' command.

	While you're at it, you also placed the reachable-via rx on
all your customer interfaces.  If you're paranoid, start with the 'any'
rpf and then move to the strict rpf.  The strict rpf also helps with
routing loops.
