First I have to say I do not recomend this set up, it sounds Like you need
to assign a subnett to this user/network.

But if push comes to shove you can use this setup, but you should assign
these routes thru radius. sometimes the portmaster will step on the above
static routes and remove them from the routing table, so useing radius to
assign temp routes will solve that problem.

You should get a loop if the user/network is not dialed in, the pm will
just use the default gateway if the user is not connected then of course
the gateway will send it back to the pm.

there are some tricks to fix that also. If you are interested just e-mail
me back.

If the user is dialed in then you have definite routeing problems in the
pm3 and should open a ticket with tech support.
