  Why are you running the T code on your routers ?
  You might want to just use 12.2.19a

  Subject: IP directed-broadcast
  Hello
  I have following setup with all interfaces disabled for ip
  direct-broadcast
  and routers are running 12.2.15T5
  --e0(172.16.1.0/24)-Router1-e1--(172.16.12.0/24)--
  e0-Router2---e1(172.16.2.0/24).
  When I ping from Router1 to either 172.16.2.0 or 172.16.2.255, Router2
  responds and vice-versa; when Router2 pings eihter 172.16.1.0 or
  172.16.1.255,
  Router1 responds.
  I was told the following - If the destination network is directly
  attached and
  ip forward directed-broadcasts is disabled then the router replies on
  behalf
  of the subnet but does not forward the broadcast out onto the subnet.
  However I have another router running 12.2.8T5(IP/FW/IDS PLUS IPSEC
  3DES)
  which does not respond to such broad-cast addresses.
  Which is normal behaviour? If it is not normal that router should
  respond to
  such ping request, how can I block it without using specific ACLs?
  Thanks in advnace.
