Ah I think I understand where the confusion is. For DSL services here its up to the customer to provide and configure the DSL modem. Its usually done via their ISP but can be reconfigured if necessary as we have done. So its not really anything to do with the ISP. I think a secondary address on the interface should work fine for this just not sure how to do it?
