(PM) PM4 assigning wrong IP's

Is anyone else using the global default ippool in comos 4.1b15? We are
and twice in the last 2 weeks, I've seen a problem where the PM4 stops
completing the connection process for most users. The ones that it does,
it gives strange addresses like our primary DNS server, and even a DNS
server of another ISP that was formerly associated with us. I am guessing
that the PM4 is losing track of the global IP pool and that these addresses
are being requested by the client so it is giving it to them The others
are just stuck because the PM4 doesn't know what to give them. If it does
it again, I will try to get some ppp debug info to see what is happening
there, but the 2 times it has occurred, we have just tried to get it
working again as quickly as possible, and rebooting the whole portmaster
seemed to be the only fix.
I am currently awaiting a response from support on this, but was just
wondering has anyone else has seen this?
