Tom, I think the problem stems from the fact that you haven't told the Max that it should use multiple pools. When I looked up multiple pools in the RADIUS manual, it seemed that if the Max did not have any instructions on which pool to use, it would default to the first pool (or if it was given instructions to use a pool without addresses or one that was unconfigured it would also default to the first pool). Try adding a pool attribute to your user profile(probably Ascend-IP-Pools=0) and setting it to zero, which should get the Max to refer to it's configuration for any available IP pool.
