(RADIATOR) Discard queries based on attribute values

[Robert Blayzor]

I'm having a problem on our RADIUS cluster with PPPoE clients being way to
aggressive.  Sometimes when a user is shut off, the PVC in the DSL network
isn't turned down for some time and it leaves aggressive PPPoE clients
trying to connect at a sometimes ungodly rate. (dozens per minute).  This
litters our logs and creates a lot of unnecessary IO's to the backend, etc.

I'm wondering what the best practice is to be able to discard these requests
before they even go to any handler, and to dump the packet/request
completely without even logging it.  Well not discard these, but send back
an instant NAK to the NAS...

I assume some PreHandlerHook (or PreClientHook) would be needed, but is
there an example how to?  ie:  Say I have a list of usernames in a file that
I want to discard on..
