(PM) OSPF/RIP routing question

Quick, (hopefully not too) stupid routing question:

4 /24's ("class C's"), two contiguous, two non-contiguous.
OSPF on all Portmasters and Cisco border router, no RIP redistribution.

PM3 running OSPF with a dynamic poolsize of 46 from one /24 ("class C"),
also serving subnet customers (of many different sizes) using a different
/24.

If a customer logs into PM3 with an IP from the pool, they cannot connect
to a subnet customer on the other /24. However, if the same customer logs
into ANY OTHER PM (getting a dynamic IP from the same /24 that PM3 hands
out dynamically), they can reach the subnet customer(s).

So, the question of the day is: do I have to enable RIP on ether0 of the
PM3 and then enable RIP broadcasts to the customers? I intended that each
customer would essentially just get a default route to the device they
dial into and the PM would make appropriate routing decisions from that
point using OSPF. I can ping/traceroute the subnet customers directly
from the PM3 (indeed from ANYWHERE on the network except a dynamic dialup
IP on that PM3).

All PM's are running ComOS 3.7.2
