I would simply provide an AuthSelect that returned the PortLimit field 
twice, and use two AuthColumnDef's - one for simultaneous use and the 
other for the request.

No this won't work, and you should not mix Realms and Handlers in the 
same configuration file for this reason.

You can have multiple items in a Handler definition however:

<Handler CHAP-Password = /.*/, Realm = blah.com>
	.....
</Handler>

<Handler Realm = blah.com>
	....
</Handler>

You can also have multiple AuthBy clauses in a Realm:

<Realm blah.com>
	AuthByPolicy ContinueUntilAccept
	<AuthBy FILE>
		....
	</AuthBy>
	<AuthBy SQL>
		....
	</AuthBy>
	....
</Realm>

Hugh
