(RADIATOR) Comments and Suggestions needed

[miko at yournetplus.com]

Doing some experimenting lately and for our configuration we require that 
certain requests be sent out on different IP Addresses bound to our server 
when we Proxy using AuthBy Radius and AuthBy RoundRobin. Easy enough with 
the LocalAddress tag, however, we actually have several different IP 
addresses that are used, but nearly all of the AuthBy's are using 
identical information with the exception of LocalAddress. To help trim 
down maintenance time and lessen the amount of different AuthBys needed in 
the config I am trying to find a way to make LocalAddress a Dynamic value 
instead of Static. In doing some research on how you can change object 
parameters using MONITOR syntax I came up with this tidy little hook that 
I can call to do what needs to be done.

PreAuthHook sub {                                     \
my $authby = Radius::AuthGeneric::find('authbyid');   \
$authby->set('LocalAddress','127.0.0.1');             \
}

Obviously my end script will use more dynamic references for the AuthBy 
Identifier and the IP Address being assigned, but that is the essential 
meat of the script above.

So here's my question, can anyone see any caveats to doing this? and does 
anyone with a bit more programming/Radiator experience than I see any 
issues with changing the LocalAddress parameter on the fly for each radius 
packet that gets processed???

Thanks in Advance,
Miko
