This is exactly how we do our Covad DSL (which does come in via Frame
Relay). However, I would redo all the maps WITHOUT the broadcast line.
There is realy no reason to send broadcasts to everyone, and it just adds to
chatter on the line.

If you're oversubscribed, it won't matter what interface they are on. All I
can guess is that the broadcasts may be distributed almong the bridges when
they are on the same interface, but I really don't think that's how it
works.

mrtg can be used to generate graphs of the individual PVCs, even when they
are on the same interface. They might give you a better picture of who is
doing what.
