Once upon a time John-David Childs shaped the electrons to say...
>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).

You need to play with traceroute. The routing on your LAN isn't working
properly. You might have RIP on some box accidentally, or the OSPF group
isn't communicating fully, or something like that.

Tracerouting to and from the customer machine should show you where the
routing breaks down.

>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

No. This is not a customer issue, and you really DO NOT want to run
routing over a dial link.
