What is the _some_ in "some kind of tunneling mechanism? And how do you
propose to take care of the re-configuration on the customer's end for
the tunnel? Dynamic DNS with TTL close to 0? Whater it is, it should be
available for all of the "popular" operating systems, btw.
=back to the ASP network so they have consistant addressing, even if their
=providor uses dynamic addressing.
Which requires some sort of (non-trivial?) static routing entries on the
customer's end nodes and/or some sort of routing support by the "basic"
transport provider.

If there is a reasonable solution for that, I'd really like to deploy
that for my ADSL link (which only offers dynamic addresses ;-).
Both for becoming a subnet in my universities LAN as well as for IPv6!
