That is great improvement. After it allocation of IP addresses can be
configured very flexible and can be changed online, without restarting FR.
BTW, IP addresses can be allocated through default sqlippool, but this
allocated address can be overwrited to "static" one, configured in radreply
Framed-IP-Address attribute for users that need it. We use such technique
everywhere in our productional RADIUS servers.
Thanks.
