Sure. Just update the SQL queries used by the server.

I don't see why you would want to do it that way. The RADIUS protocol already supports the Acct-Session-Time attribute, and the server has an "sqlcounter" module, which does exactly what you want, without modifying the NAS. I would suggest using the existing solution rather than writing your own. Having the NAS update "TimeRemaining" is a bad design, and means that an attack on the NAS may result in users gaining access when you don't want them to have access.
