Someone at support finally straightened me out on this (Sean if memory
serves). First, start the pool on a subnet boundary. That way if/when you
run OSPF your routes are summarized nicely. For example, set assigned
x.x.x.16; set pool 48. That makes it a /28 and a /27 -- 2 entries in your
OSPF tables. And second, no it doesn't take one extra. When the PM boots,
it checks to see how many dial-in ports you've got. It'll set that many
addresses aside UNLESS you have the set pool command set, which overrides
it. In the above example the PM would use x.x.x.16 - x.x.x.63. A PM2e/30
would require only a /27.
