Cloud core.  There is a difference between having a hot (80-250v), a 
neutral and a ground, vs. a neutral and two 120v hots.  I believe the 
router can handle more than 120v but not in the sense that its being 
delivered on two 120v legs with a neutral and no ground.  Its a 3 prong 
twist lock type receptacle.  If there is a way I'd like to be educated 
(aside from pulling one of the hots and hooking the neutral to ground as 
well on my new non-code engineered power cable.  Educate me.....
  
 I think I'm just going to plug it into the normal 120v 20amp plug on the 
wall behind the rack though, seems like the best way forward considering 
the options I was just trying to accommodate the customers request prior to 
plan B.

  Tim,

In most cases you can split the hot leads on the 240v outlet into two 120v 
circuits. There are adapter pigtails for this if you don't want to hardware 
it.

>From memory, our local hardware store sells these (in the US).

  I would think something like this might be the safer option:

 That said I'm not an electrician and I think that question might be best 
answered by one.

right plugs but because they are made for a lot larger load they were way 
bigger (and more expensive) than what I was looking for.  SO...  anyone 
have a better way to do this?  I have considered taking one leg and bonding 
the neutral and ground, but.....
