(RADIATOR) Forcing reauthentication by terminatiing sessions?

[John McFadden]

I'm setting up Radius to support authentication for wireless gateways.

One of the issues we are investigating is how to handle scheduled 
wireless outages.  The easy answer is turn off the radio transmitter via 
snmp but we'd prefer to have a better way so users
would be aware of why they can't use wireless at that time/location.
 
I'm wondering if Radius could be used.

ie:
New Sessions:
Users trying to logon from location (based on ip number) could be 
rejected after database check
and applicable attribute (message) returned.  This seems simple.  Anyone 
doing that type of thing?

Active Sessions:
Get list of active sessions from that location and force them to 
reauthenticate so they can same attribute/outage message.  Not sure if 
this is possible without using snmp against access point or wireless 
gateway?  Would terminating the Radius sessions do anything?

Thanks in advance.
