Actually, that's not correct. The ippool module only uses the Netmask to
set a value if one isn't set in the packet already. The Pool range will be
from the start value to the stop value.
Netmask of 255.255.255.255 is I would expect quite common from an ip pool,
since people getting those IPs are probably only on a point-to-point link,
at least when you're using a RADIUS server and not, say, DHCP to allocate
the IPs. Unless it's a wireless network, I suppose...
