(RADIATOR) Multi chassis Multilink PPP-Proposal for a new feature(add-on)

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Marius -

I recently implemented exactly this scenario for a customer on a  
consulting job.

The solution we came up with was to use additional fields in the  
session database, and stored procedures in the database itself (Oracle)  
to do exactly what you describe. The Radiator configuration file simply  
used a simple AuthBy PLSQL clause (you will find it in  
"goodies/AuthPLSQL.pm" - thanks to Pavel Crasotin) and everything else  
was done by the stored procedure.

regards

Hugh
