That's exactly what it does.

According to my experiences you have to reboot the max
to enable this feature (that is to get the max to 
generate the necessary routing entry).
Another way that saves you from the reboot, simply set
Pool Summary = Yes and configure a static route on the
unit that routes the subnet of the pool to the rj0 interface
(127.0.0.2). The next time you reboot the machine you'll
notice 2 routes and you can remove the static entry.
