While this seems to be trivial to the naive admin. There are some less
trivial issues involved. These are:
. Reasonable (OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP) routing protocol support in your RAS.
. OSPF/EIGRP/IS-IS convergence of the routing information about your IP
number over the entire ISP cloud.
. Dynamic /32 routes.
. /32 networks.
Now, assigning 255.255.255.254 to your user (which tells the RAS to
assign from its local IP number pool, which can be routed staticly to the
RAS) is much more simple to maintain, routing wise. And I'm not saying
this is impossible, only that it requires some carefull planning (more
than just putting it in the RADIUS config file). Apparently, ISDNet had
taken the time to solve these issues.
