Couple of ways you can do this.

You can send a Framed-IP-Address and a subnet mask to something other  
than all ones.  Although only the device connecting PPPoE would be  
able to use the different IP addresses, but would work for things like  
static NAT's, etc.

Or you can just do a Framed-Route attribute and send a subnet to the  
CPE connecting via PPPoE, ie: a router.

In most cases you don't have to assign a Framed-IP-Address and a  
Framed-Route, the router is smart enough it can use a dynamic IP from  
a pool and route it to the device connecting.
