(RADIATOR) IPASS problems

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Kyle -

Thanks for sending the files and the user to check - it makes life *much* 
easier when digging through debugs.

There are at least two problems that I can see.

The first is that you are doing an AuthBy DYNADDRESS for requests from iPASS. 
This is a problem because iPASS does their own address allocation and the 
addresses that you allocate will never be used and will never be freed 
(except by timing out). You should not allocate IP addresses to iPASS 
requests.

The second problem is that there is confusion in the session database between 
the actual IP address of the NAS that sends the request, and the IP address 
of the iPASS host. You will need to decide whether you want to use a session 
database for iPASS users at all, and if so you will probably have to define a 
seperate session database for this purpose and use customised queries to make 
sure you use the correct IP addresses, etc.
