I am trying to get a handle on how common this practice is. No one that I have asked seems to know any provider that does this, and a search of a few FAQs plus about an hour of Googling hasn't turned up anything definite (but maybe I am using the wrong keywords ...).

There was a MA based provided that catered towards municipalities that did this. I was a volunteer on our local IT comittee and was shocked to see this in action :) After a few requests they eventually did assign a public address to the router, but I think it was SOP to NAT everything. -Steve
