(RADIATOR) Client Identifier and TACACS

It helps understand why it doesn't work, but doesn't give me another option 
;-)

Is there any other simple way to add an Attribute depending on  the client 
IP/Name ?
Right now I read in the client ip, radius secret/tacacs key and location 
details from a file and I thought I could use the same file for radius and 
tacacs clients. Is there a lookup option from file somewhere so that I can 
read a file and map to an attribute BEFORE selecting a handler ?

Or can I do some if then else inside the handler to select some other Auth 
Method ?

Thank you
Markus
