A workaround is to set a false static ARP
  address in the router for the broadcast address of the LAN you wish to
  protect, or set a false static host route for the broadcast address.

Haven't played with any Bay routers since before this paper was
released, so I haven't tried it.  Sounds like a reasonable solution,
though.  Just a quick FYI.
