Sounds like the first PM is broadcasting the network routes to the other
class C networks, so packets for them will never hit the second PM. This
is a real danger of static IPs, if you follow the RFC you collapse to
network routes on a network boundary (like ether0). You will probably
have to set the users to netmask 255.255.255.255 and add the same entry
into the netmask table on the PMs - they'll broadcast host routes that way.
