Just set the pool address - the PM doesn't care.

Ah. Then you have to do one of these:
1. Learn to stop living in fear and love OSPF. ;-)
2. Setup a static route to route the appropriate IPs to the PM.
3. Use the old Netmask Table hack and end up with a little clutch of PMs
all talking to each other, and make on the gateway.
The first solution is the one I recommend - but the Ascend's may not play
nice with OSPF.

This is really something for OSPF - OSPF would take care of this automatically.
Now, if this static IP user always dials into the same PM a simple static
route aimed there will do.
If they land on various PMs then you need to play *very* messy games with
the netmask table, et al.
In closing I'd say the best answer to all of the above is: OSPF.
