Hello Hugh,

I just realized something about my proposed config above, in that DoA and DoB
will not get accounting. Basically 'DoA' and 'DoB' correspond to 2 different
virtual ISPs and I need the accounting handled for each one differently, but
in other words they need to GET the accounting.

My guess is I need to write a new auth module that inherits AuthFILE. Looking
at this I think I just need to add some code to call
AuthGeneric::checkAttributes on an accounting request instead of just
accepting it. Do you think that modification will work ok?

Just FYI, the reason I am looking at the above type of configuration is I
would like to reduce the number of handlers. We simply would have too many if
we did this with all Handlers. The goal with the above config is to emulate a
'sub-handler' or cascading setup, where first the NAS IP is matched, then
Calling-Station-Id only if NAS IP had matched. This will reduce the amount of
processing for each packet. If you think there is some better way please let
me know.

Thanks,

Viraj.
