You could either use a PreHandlerHook to do the LDAP lookup to get the
Realm-part so that you could select the the correct handler directly.

Or you could use a PostAuthHook going through
@Radius::Client::handlerFindFn Handler selection to dispatch it to the
now best matching handler/realm.

There might be even easier solutions depending on you exact setup.
