[BTW, in your example surely you mean .32 and not .33?]

You can get the CISCO to handle this by doing "ip route 205.164.207.32
255.255.255.224 205.164.207.32". When the CISCO sees the host route come
in with RIP it "merges" it into this static subnet route and comes up
with a subnet route pointing at the appropriate PM.
