Very Interesting. I have been evaluating Radiator off and on and find it
interesting that you would prefer FreeRADIUS over a $700 Radius
solution. Could you give me more insight into this switch? More details
on the AV pairs to certain proxy requests based on Client-IP-Address?
Could you provide any details on the hardware that your setup is running
on?
