(RADIATOR) Radiator AS a Proxy?

You could set up an AuthBy RADIUS clause to point to your customer's RADIUS
server and then add and Auth-Type check item to those users in you users
file to database to force them to authenticate using the AuthBy RADIUS. In
the 2.19 manual section 13.1.6 explains the use of the Auth-Type check item.
AuthBy RADIUS is also well documented in the manual and has been discussed
in length on the mailing list.

Radiator can do this, but in a typical proxy radius setup, you would have 
this customer's users dial in as user at customerdomain.com (whatever their 
domain is) and you would pass these requests on to their radius server(s).  
You can (and should) strip and add certain attributes to their radius 
replies...but I'm not sure how you would handle proxy radius and approving 
or denying access for certain users.  If you want to do that, what's the 
point in proxying the authentication?
