(RADIATOR) Content filtering

We're getting ready to do this too.

Two approaches we have so far are:

1) Use the Filter-Id reply item. When the NAS sees this, it will load a
filter by that name that you must have already configured on that NAS
and saved. The filter is a series of rules based on protocol, IP address
block, and port. That filter will then apply to that user for the
duration of his session.

2) Tunnel. I'm just looking into this now. We might tunnel the user to a
specific box. This box will then pass all traffic besides port 80 to the
outside. But port 80 will be redirected to Squid. I think there are
Tunnel RADIUS attributes we can use to invoke this on a per-user
basis...
