You're correct. I thought I'd sent this to the list last night but 
didn't watch the to: field carefully enough on my reply.

I don't know the mechanism but I think I know what you were 
seeing.  Here is an ethereal packet capture from the time.  We, too,  
were constantly seeing our ISP controlled perimeter router sending 
these packets to our internal equipment. The source MAC address here 
is the perimeter router (Cisco 1700) and the ISP was pretty much 
stumped over the cause.
