(ASCEND) Routing Issue with Multiple Max 4080's

Our Sales Department recently sold a customer a static IP account and 30 
extra IP's to use on their network. I realize the customer will have little 
bandwith, but it falls on deaf ears at the moment.  My real challenge here, 
is the routing table setup for the range we have given the customer.  We 
currently have 3-4048's stacked, 6.1.3, IP only, running MPP w/shared 
profiles. The authentication comes from Ascend's Radius .  Our PRI's 
rollover to the next available modem port across each MAX .

I have the setup in Radius for this client as:

user Password = "password",
	User-Service = Framed User"
	Framed-Protocol = "MPP"
	Ascend-Address-IP-Pool = 3
	Framed Address = XXX.XXX.XX.XX (this is our static address)
	Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.224 ( this would grant them 30 hosts IP's, 
though it is actually handled by the Cisco router)
	Ascend-Idle-Limit = 0


If I setup the static IP for the customer in one of the MAXES, the customer 
MUST be able to connect ONLY to that specific MAX box in order for the 
routing to take effect since our Cisco router has to point to one of the 
MAXES to resolve the range of IP's given to the customer  . This poses a 
problem because I MUST put the client on our first MAX.  If the first MAX 
fills up with callers, then this client is rolled over into MAX2 which will 
let them connect,  but will not be able to do anything else.

Is there a way to make these three Maxes look like one?
Can I have Radius assign the routing correctly for the static IP and the 30 
IP's the client needs?
Is there a way to hold a modem port open for only a specific customer 
through authentication?

My thoughts so far have been that I would need to have these customers dial 
into a number which, In turn, would also be assigned to a separate modem 
card.  This is an expensive fix, but it would work.

Any thoughts or experiences with this would be helpful,

Thanks!
