This is another example of Microsoft's warped thinking :-)
What it is saying is that the interface with that ip address is the gateway
out of the machine. The normal way of setting default gateways is to set it
to another device and then the machine would look and see under which
interface's network/subnet mask the other ip address fell and route it out
that interface.

Do you have 'set user-netmask on' set? What is the Radius entry for this
user? What OS are they running?
