Once upon a time Rick Davidson shaped the electrons to say...

Yeah, I forgot to mention that the first time...

Yes. It will apply the netmask to the IP on the interface and the proper
route is automagically created in the routing table.

Most likely you may have a bad netmask set on some user or users, or an
oddball address. Or perhaps the manually inserted route was overlapping
with one created for a user with a set netmask. I know that you can use
both methods simultaneously withouyt conflict, so something was wrong in
one of the settings - I'd be sure of it.

Make sure any and all users who are NOT supposed to be getting special subnets
are getting Framed-IP-Netmaks = 255.255.255.255. Also, make sure the subnets
you assign aren't accidentally overlapping with the PM's IP pool, or any
other IP user for that matter.
