Point taken. I am by no means wedded to the name dialup, but as I mentioned 
previously I wanted to have the ability to have different configs for 
different types of installations. I was planning to contribute a fully 
virtualised config shortly which separates everything by callingstationid 
for example. (And we already have the voip specific config for postgresql)

Maybe we should call it sql/mysql/default.conf etc

What do you think?

I think the sql/ directory gives away the fact that its an sql related 
module :-)

Agreed, but is this actually confusing? The top of the file lists:
# FreeRADIUS rlm_sqlippool SQL Queries for the MySQL Dialect

I think any confusion should quickly pass...
