Heh, I know how that goes :)

Ok.

First decide how you want it subnetted, each "block" of addresses can
either be the same size or different sizes within the Class-C. You can
always change it later. For this user who needs a 32 address block (/27
in CIDR notation) which gives them 30 usable addresses you can just tell
it to route xxx.xxx.xxx.0/27 to the dial-up customer in the Radius record
or if it is hardwired just route it to the ip address of the interface and
the Portmaster can redistribute the static route into OSPF.

You don't *have* to use OSPF, but you *really should* to make life *much*
easier and things easier to manage and dynamically change over time.

It talks about setting up OSPF on the Portmasters and Ciscos.
