  The existing tables are for specific purposes.  If you need something
else, don't use them.

  Create a table just for MAC addresses.  Then, do:

authorize {
	...


	if ("%{sql:SELECT mac FROM mac_table WHERE...}") {
		# mac is known
	}
	else {
		# mac is unknown
	}
	...
}

  Run the SQL select by hand until you get it working, and then add it
to the configuration file.
