Note, he did not suggest what his subnet mask should be. :-)
And if you read the KB article it refers to establishing the static
route option from the DHCP server.
And unless the customer is RASing into your NT Server, I imagine your
NAS and RADIUS are the ones establishing the IP addresses and netmasks,
not the M$ DHCP Server.
