Here is as much information as I think I can provide:

The ip-global config looks like this:

pool-base-address = [ 209.197.193.1 209.197.199.1
assign-count = [ 254 254

The DEFAULT radius profile is this:

DEFAULT     Password = "UNIX"   
    User-Service = Framed-User,
    Framed-Protocol = PPP,
    Ascend-Assign-IP-Pool = 0,
    Ascend-Maximum-Channels = 1,
    Ascend-Idle-Limit = 1200

>From the CLI on the TNT:

admin> ip-pools

Pool#                Base         Count      InUse
   1             209.197.193.1     254        178
   2             209.197.199.1     254          0

 Number of remaining allocated addresses:    0

I typed in debug on and addr (to enable addrpool debugging) and here is
some output:

As you can see, once the TNT reached the end of available addresses in the
first IP-pool, it recycled back to the start of the first pool.  Is this
wrong, or is this the way it is supposed to work?
