(RADIATOR) Large number of handlers

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello David -

If all you are doing is matching on Called-Station-Id, then I suggest you use 
the special code included in the goodies directory. The file is called 
"goodies/CalledStationId.pm" and it does a Realm-like direct table lookup on 
the Called-Station-Id in the access request.

You will need to copy the file into the "Radius" directory wherever Perl 
looks for it in your setup (and read the header in the file).

Then you can set up a configuration file like this:

<CalledStationId nnnnnn>
	.....
</CalledStationId>

<CalledStationId mmmmm>
	.....
</CalledStationId>

........
