	Ah, I see. Is this a typical supported configuration ? I would argue that
	they shouldn't be allowed to do that, unless you're explicitly delivering
	Lan-to-Lan service (then you'd need to encapsulate their traffic in one
	way or another).

	If they do that anyway, you could decide not to carry their traffic. How
	do they get IP connectivity if the plug a switch directly ? Take IPs out
	of the /24 ?

	What's possible is very different from what you want to allow your
	customers to do per the contract they signed with you :)
