Hmm..that is indeed an alternative, but like you said, it's kind of
not a neat way to achieve my goal.
And I'm worrying that might have some performance issue if supposed

No offense, I'm curious that why can't view these two request:
"Proxy-Auth Request" and "CoA Request" as two independent request?

What do you mean *after*? The next any-kind-of request?
But I really need they do it in the same sequence. It a bit upset
me.

Thanks Alan! Thanks your contribution and devotion to FreeRADIUS.
It's really impressive. Not a compliment at all. lol
