[RADIATOR] Client erratic selection of handlers

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Michael -

Have you by any chance a duplicate entry for this client in the  
database that is overwriting what is in the configuration file?

BTW - you can set Identifiers for your client clauses in the database  
too - you just need to alter the GetClientQuery.

See section 5.7.2 in the Radiator 4.4 reference manual ("doc/ref.pdf").

regards

Hugh
