This has been discussed on the mailing list a fair bit.

I often find it useful to use Identifiers in the Client clauses and 
then use Handlers based on them.

# define Client clauses with Identifiers

<Client 1.1.1.1>
	Identifier Dialup
	.....
</Client>

<Client 2.2.2.2>
	Identifier Dialup
	.....
</Client>

<Client 3.3.3.3>
	Identifier Wireless
	.....
</Client>

.....

<Client n.n.n.n>
	Identifier Wired
	.....
</Client>

.....

# define Handlers

<Handler Client-Identifier = Dialup>
	.....
</Handler>

.....

<Handler Client-Identifier = Wireless>
	.....
</Handler>

.....

<Handler Client-Identifier = Wired>
	.....
</Handler>

.....

<Handler>
	......
</Handler>


There are also a great many example configuration files in the 
"goodies" directory of the distribution.

And of course we are also available on a contract basis for design, 
installation and training.

Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
