There's no DHCP anywhere on the network, and the DHCP UDP ports are filtered out at every POP, so that specifically is a bad example. :)
Sorry for not getting back to this, we've had massive weirdness on our dialup gear too (mostly related to moving it). Yes, our network is part bridged/part routed. I'm pretty sure it's a real RF problem, because we pulled out the Bumblebee and my field guy said he saw crazy mad noise all across the 2.4 spectrum a couple days ago, when we were having this weird hiccup. (And another local WISP operator reportedly has had similar issues, though I didn't talk to him personally; that's the boss' department.) We'll probably just have to use some old-school triangulation and such to find out where it is, if it's something we even can find. For instance, today was a cool and cloudy day, and this problem didn't show up all day. Thus, I blame sunspots. :D (Honestly, I'm stumped, but at least we're now reasonably certain it's a real RF issue.) If/when we sort it out, I'll report back.
