hi - i'd like to use the radius server's IP within the configuration files. specifically, to include it in the reply-message - i know that some variables are defined %u, %p, %n, etc ... see doc... but none of these contain the radius server's IP address. this needs to be not from the radius packet's target address, but the real IP as defined by the OS. why the difference? in load-balancing situations, the target IP on the request packet is shared amongst different physical servers, so the real IP is the real identifier. so i'd like to do something like this in the users file... test1@proxyradius User-Password == "test1.proxyradius" Reply-Message = "hello from the proxyradius layer server %{Real-IP}" is there anyway to achieve this? i don't want to hard-code it on each different server as that is not as efficient as using a common paramterised configuration file for many servers of the same function. tariq
