Restrict to initial NAS used to logon

Hi,

	I will have to consider the NAS-Identifier replacing NAS-IP-Address.
This is not for our use, this is at a customer site. I'm leary about using
a field for something other than its intention (Or adding a field that is
unexpected) due to the possibility of them installing a package later on
that has certainly expectations of the data being a certain way). 

	I later realized that SOMETHING would need to be set in the
radcheck , but was hoping for it to be a bit "self contained". I
see things like the Simultaneous use, and the ability to check max
access-period, and was hoping I could somehow tell the system
to SELECT the nasname (if that field existed) from radacct, and
compare against the current nasname from the record. If there was
no current, go ahead. If there was a current, if it matched go
ahead. Maybe even something with the COUNT of unique nasname,
and if it was 0 , its ok. If its 1, better match the current one.

	I was trying to avoid as much outside stuff as possible. I guess I
could perl it if it means that much to me. I was just hopinf after seeing
some of the "sqlcounter" stuff, if there was some way to accomplish it 
that way.
