Make sure your xl0 and rl0 nics are not plugged into the same switch or
hub.  If they aren't, and your setup currently looks like:

 ___________     24.172.21.219           24.172.21.XXX
(           )---[RR business DSL box]---[xl0]
( Internet  )
(___________)---[RR home DSL box]-------[rl0]
                 66.57.248.1             66.57.248.XX 

, then RR may have problems providing both business and home DSL to the
same location, since there's no way xl0 should be getting ARPs from
66.57.248.1.
