(RADIATOR) Handler question

Hello guys,

I have some questions, about Handler behaviour.  First question, is 
whether Handlers support regular expression syntax, like Realm does?  In 
section 6.16 in the manual, there isn't any mentioning about that.. but 
as far as I'm concerned, I think it should be supported - but I would 
like confirmation. ;)  I don't want to do any regexp matching against 
the name of the attributes, but rather against the attribute values 
(something like <Handler Called-Id = /(12345|54321)/i, User-Realm = 
/(this|that)/i>).

Second question: Realm supersedes Handler definitions in the 
configuration file, and Handlers get processed sequentially.. but what 
happens, if a request matches 2 handlers, like in the following case:

my request = me at WHATEVER (Client-Id: 1.1.1.1)

<Handler User-Realm = /WHATEVER/i, Client-Id = /1\.1\.1\.1/>
    ...
</Handler>

<Handler User-Realm = /WHATEVER/i>
    ...
</Handler>

The request will match the first handler, but what happens if the AuthBy 
fails at that point?  Will it still continue to the next Handler, or 
will it immediately send an Access-Reject?

Thanks!

-Andy
