Uhm.  Unless you have only one NAS, you'll have major issues.  Each
user will get a /32 ip.  If you have many NAS and the /32's are handed
out by the radius server, then you need to have all the NAS telling
each other about which /32's they have connected.

If that is not clear, you need to study routing, route summarization,
and ip subnetting some more.

No.  ( And you really really really don't want to for 30,000 ips ).
