It sounds like a typical situation where an ISP expands from 1 to more than 1 RAS at a PoP. A lot of ISP's run RIPv2 send only on their RAS's, and accept the routes on the adjacent router. This allows the advertisement of Static IP addresses regardless of which RAS the user dials into. This router makes routing decisions, such as forwarding the packets received on the ethernet (but with routes via another RAS). The Router can then export the dynamic routes into OSPF/BGP (or not as may be your preference, to use static routes in between PoPs). This works especially well for customers with subnets which are available beyond the single IP address assigned in PPP authentication. The framed route profile from RADIUS is advertised by RIP to the Router, and then into the network. And Abracadabra! No more clunky static routes...
