So, are you saying that it's OK to set-assigned to any subnet boundary IP
except .0???

If I then set-assigned to X.X.X.1 with a pool-size of 32 (so "mandated"
(according to previous posts in this forum) in order to allow OSPF routes
to be broadcast as a single entry rather than multiple host routes), then
the PM could potentially assign X.X.X.32 to a user and I wouldn't be able
to set-assigned X.X.X.32 (pool-size 32) on the next PM in the same Class
C.

For that matter, setting a pool-size to 32 is confusing since no matter
which .224 subnet one uses or where one starts in the subnet (i.e. on the
subnet boundary or the subnet boundary +1), the PM will at some point
assign an IP address which is the network/broadcast IP of the next/current
subnet.
