In fact it was a reply attribute from the server, but I now understand what
you mean.  If mysql updates the reply packet with

     'Foo-Attribute', ':=', 'bar'

then then freeradius -X always shows Foo-Attribute because this is the
content of vp->name prior to encoding the packet.

Once it has been encoded, sent over the wire and decoded by radclient,
radclient will show the preferred dictionary name for that particular
attribute.

Thanks,

Brian.
