This problem is fixed by following the BCP regarding spoof filtering, if
needed, doing the IP source filtering at the switchport instead of at the
router level. Treat your colo customers the same way you would residential
customers with the same security level.
Whatever the customer himself can change, control. IP spoof filtering, and
if your platform supports it, even rewrite the MAC address so it's local
to the access cable and not used in your aggregation network (some DSLAM
vendors do this, for instance). I haven't seen any switch vendors that
does this yet, unfortunately.
