sorry, had a typo in there, it should be vpnserver2.customer1 not
customer2. So we have many NASes and each NAS can have the same customers.

If we like to create custom groups like in the rlm_passwd, do we have to
write our own rlm c module? If so, may you point me to the documentation
of how to write those modules?

This will be done in the sql module then, right?
