It's likely just missing from the reference manual. I see no reason not 
to have it documented. A closer look shows that it's actually 
implemented by AuthBy RADIUS. AuthBy MULTICAST, being a type of AuthBy 
RADIUS, gets its support from there. This also means HASHBALANCE, 
LOADBALANCE, etc. also support HandleAcctStatusTypes.

Also, AuthBy RADSEC, DNSROAM, GROUP, FIDELIO and REST also support it.

I'll make a note that the reference manual gets updated.

Thaks for brining this to our attention!

Related to the above, something like this can also be used for the 
similar function (please test it before using it):

<Handler Request-Type=Accounting-Request, Acct-Status-Type=Start|Stop>
    # AuthBy to do the processing
</Handler>

<Handler Request-Type=Accounting-Request>
    <AuthBy INTERNAL>
       DefaultResult REJECT
       AcctResult ACCEPT
    </AuthBy>
</Handler>

It's longer to configure than HandleAcctStatusTypes but might be useful 
in some cases to clearly separate different accounting message types.

Thanks,
Heikki
