(RADIATOR) Radius Attribute to set Hostname?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Shon -

I think you will find that the service you were dialling in to had 
all their dialup ports defined in their DNS (many other providers do 
this as well).

As far as I know there is no way to specify a hostname with radius.

regards

Hugh
