This is very easy to do. Depending on how you want to send the data 
to Billmax (you can either proxy or write directly to the database). 
Either way you just need to add a second AuthBy module and handle 
authentication and accounting differently. Something like this:

# define AuthBy clauses

<AuthBy ....>
	Identifier NormalAuth
	....
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy ....>
	Identifier SendToBillmax
	.....
</AuthBy>

# configure Handlers

<Handler Request-Type = Accounting-Request>
	AuthBy SendToBillmax
	AcctLogFileName ....
	....
</Handler>

<Handler>
	AuthBy NormalAuth
	.....
</Handler>
