  Yes.  The LDAP  SQL modules do this.

I can't see why not.  I have one module that I tested that used pipes  
to move the actual updating of a sql database outside the radius  
server.  It worked just fine.  The performance improvement wasn't  
enough to justify doing that on a production server though.
