It would be nice if the log file name and directory hierarchy could 
be defined using xlat and could be auto created based on defined 
criteria as well. This would allow as a simple example :

logfile="/var/log/radius/%Y/%m/%d/radius-%{Client-Ip-Address:-log}"

I had hoped I would have had time to look at solving this myself 
but have not had any time.
