As the multilink negotation occurs before PPP enters the authentication
phase, there is no way to disable this on a per-user basis. The only
option is to use RPM (local or remote) and to define a dnis-based
template which doesn't include multilink (I think this works, never
tried it).

May I ask why you want to do this if you can restrict the # of bundle
members on a per-user basis.
