Alright, this problem has raised it head again on my network since I started
to renumber some PPPoE pools.
Customer gets a new IP address via PPPoE x.x.x.208/32 (from x.x.x.192/27
pool). Customer can't surf and I can't ping them from my office:
[office] - [Bernie Router] - [Braggcity Router] - [Ross Router] - [Hayti
Router] - [customer]
A traceroute from my office dies @ the Bernie router but I am not getting
any type of ICMP response from the Bernie router ie no ICMP Host
Unreachable/Dest unreachable etc - just blackholes after my office router.
A traceroute from the Customer to the office again dies at the Bernie router
with no type of response.
Checking the routing table on the Bernie router shows a valid route pointing
to the Braggcity router. It is also in the OSPF LSA's.

Another customer gets x.x.x.207/32 and has no issue at all.
--
Force the original customer to a new ip address of x.x.x.205/32 and the
service starts working again.
--
Now - even though there is no valid route to x.x.x.208/32 in the routing
table - traffic destined to the x.x.x.208/32 IP is still getting
blackholed.. I should be getting a Destination host unreachable from the
Bernie router.
This is correct the correct response .206 is not being used and there is no
route to it:
C:\Users\netadmin>ping x.x.x.206
Pinging x.x.x.206 with 32 bytes of data:

This is what I see to x.x.x.208 even though it is not being used and there
is no route to it.

I've verified there is no firewall that would affect the traffic - I even
put an accept rule in the forward chain for both the source and destination
of x.x.x.208 and neither increment at all. So the traffic is not even making
out of the routing flow and into the firewall..
Any pointers are where to start troubleshooting next?
