Hi everybody,

Here at Tilburg University we try to do the following.
Have a vpn server authenticate via Radiator.
Have Radiator pick up an ip address from a certain pool from a dhcp server 
(dhcp3 from isc)
In the dhcp config I have:
--
shared-network uvt-vpn {
     subnet 10.11.12.13 netmask 255.255.255.255 { allow unknown-clients; }
     subnet 10.56.80.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 { allow unknown-clients; }
         option subnet-mask 255.255.248.0;
         option broadcast-address 10.56.87.255;
         option routers 10.56.80.1;
          pool {
            max-lease-time 14400;
            range 10.56.80.10 10.56.87.254;
          }
}
--
In the Radiator config I have (pertaining to dhcp):
--
<AddressAllocator DHCP>
         Identifier dhcpallocator
         Host 10.56.247.11
         DHCPClientIdentifier VPN
         UserClass %{Client:Identifier}
         # Subnet Selection Option
         # Now defined in RFC 3011 to be 118.
         # Earlier versions of the ISC DHCP server
         # used the unofficial option 211.
         SubnetSelectionOption 118
         #SubnetSelectionOption 211
</AddressAllocator>
--
And the corresponding AuthBy:
--
                 <AuthBy DYNADDRESS>
                         AddressAllocator dhcpallocator
                         PoolHint 10.11.12.13
                         StripFromReply PoolHint
                 </AuthBy>

I use Radiator 3.9 and dhcp3-3.0+3.0.1rc14 both on different Debian woody 
(stable) systems.
What's happing is the following, the dhcp discover is sent, but the dhcp offer 
is sent without the subnet selection info as it was filled in the discover.
Then Radiator sends a dhcp request and the dhcp server says lease not available 
and sends a dhcp nak.

Basically I'm testing with Radiator's radius test client (in gui mode) from the 
Radius server to the dhcp server, I'm thinking if I cannot get that to work why 
try the vpn server as a radius client.

What I would need is an example config for the dhcp server (I think) maybe some
tips on the radiator config and testing.

Do you need logs or whatever just drop me a line.

Thanx
Roland
