Routing Questions: 1 Radius, 1 OSPF

Hello All,

I've been mucking around in my routing configs lately (experimenting with
OSPF) and am stuck on two different issues.

1) I'm using the ESVA mods to Radius 1.16 (with COM/OS 3.5.1b17 on several
PM2E30s) and for a few dedicated dialup customers, I route multiple subnets
down their connection. Unfortunately, I can't seem to make this work
using RADIUS only, I always have to put in a static route for at least one
of the subnets.

My question is *should* I be able to put two Framed-Route entries into a
single user entry in Radius and have it work? For example:

customer1 Password = "UNIX"
Framed-IP-Address = 208.198.56.242,
Framed-Route = "208.198.61.64/26 0.0.0.0 1",
Framed-Route = "208.198.61.128/26 0.0.0.0 1"
(note ESVA entries do look a little different than other radius versions)

2) I have OSPF working fairly well, but I've noticed that each address in
my dialup pools gets advertised as a seperate route. Pretty much half of
my routing table is taken up by these "host routes". Since the pool is
always a contiguous block, it seems to me it should be possible to
advertise this entire pool as a single block, which should save some memory
and CPU time in each of my routers. I've read the tech notes & manuals,
but haven't seen any way to do this.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions,
