No Problem :

You can put the IP-Adress a user should get as last parameter in the
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets file. So the IP-Adress can be different for every
user.

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets would be for you for example:

user1	*	""	192.168.0.200
user2	*	""	192.168.0.201
user3	*	""	192.168.0.201

and so on. I use something like this to distinguish which dialin-user
gets an real IP of our C-Class Subnet or which gets only a fake IP
like 192.168.0.200 to get access to only the dialin-server.
