[RADIATOR] Updating Address Expiry Timestamp with Interim Accounting

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Gareth -

I suggest you add some processing to your interim accounting Handler  
to extend the lease.

Ie. something like this:

.....

<Handler Acct-Status-Type = Alive>
	# process interim accounting
	# extend address leases if required
	.....
</Handler>

<Handler Request-Type = Accounting-Request>
	# process other accounting
	.....
</Handler>

<Handler>
	# process authentication
	.....
</Handler>

hope that helps

regards

Hugh
