Livingston^WLucent PortMasters can't do that.  There are two ways to avoid
polluting your IGP (be it RIPv2 or OSPF based): either set the pool size
to 32 or 64 (depending on the amount of E1/T1's into your PM3) and start
the assigned pool at the same boundary, or filter IGP announcements later
on, possibly utilising route summaries.

PM's suck in this regard, they can generate a handful of routes for a
block even if they only miss one IP address in it to make it to the next
^2 natural boundary, and there's no way to tell them to aggregrate it
anyway.
