Thanks for your input; your descriptions of limitations you ran into is helpful. I think I will stick with using rlm_perl for now; I definitely don't want to tackle writing my own stripped down RADIUS server. If performance or scale become problems I will investigate other options at that time.

Thank you for the quick reply. Would you recommend doing anything differently? Perhaps a different EAP type? If I wanted redundancy should I just setup a secondary radius server with the same settings and add it to the list of servers that are available? Thanks, Dan. On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at

Perhaps a simpler method of doing 'smartcards' like you're referring to is to make single-use username/passwords printed on small cards (which can be done within chillispot I believe), which the consultants just pick up from reception, enter in the details, and get a prepaid hour or whatever.
