This is the normal default behaviour, but you may not want to have it
done that way, in which case you can change it.

If your pool is properly aligned on a subnet boundary, then go into
Ethernet/Mod Config.../WAN options and set Pool Summary=Yes. The Max
will no longer announce /32 (host) routes for addresses in the pools.
Now to compensate, you need to announce a route for the pool itself.
You need to enter this as a static route.

Dest=Your.ip.address.pool/Yoursize
Gateway=127.0.0.2

The MAX is a real router!!!!

In modern implementations, a host route is nothing but any other kind of
route, with a netmask of 255.255.255.255 or /32.
