I cannot ping the IP on my Cisco 6509 from the internet.
Quite out of the context of the connectivity issue you're trying to troubleshoot, it's in fact extremely desirable to have your 6509 (and all your routers, for that matter) unpingable from the outside your own network. The BCP is to use iACLs, CoPP, et. al. to keep out all unsolicited traffic headed to, as opposed to through (like traceroute, pinging customer hosts, etc.), your network infrastructure.
