You can have a different handler for each username but if this is for a
large volume of users (perhaps the merging of 2 ISPs) that's not going to
scale.

Are you after a system that allows you to look up a username in a DB or
similar and the result of the DB query indicates another RADIUS server to
proxy to? If so you would probably have to do a "continue while accept",
use an AuthBy to add a field to the request and then a later handler base
don that attribute. You would probably still have to hard code the address
of the RADIUS servers in your config file but you could select them based
on a DB lookup.
