Alex, When posting please wrap your lines...they are easier to read and some MUA's don't deal well with them...including mine :) Thanks. This situation is kind of funny, I've never heard of an ISP doing this. I belive what you want to do is, if you are using IpFilter, use the fastroute keyword. You can find more about it at the link[1] posted below. Just do a search on the page for fastroute. There are probably options for the alternate packet filters (ipfw, pf) also. Just read the howto corresponding to the packet filters name and you should find out some more information.
