  This is for proxying?

>  I've pored over Doxygen to try and formulate a way of doing it myself but I'm coming up a little short - it would always be possible to manually parse the config file myself or include the IP Addresses in the individual config file for the module but the client would prefer to do it automatically and for the sake of robustness I'd like to at least attempt to pull those values from within FreeRADIUS before going for the other methods!  If anyone has any guidance on this matter it would be very gratefully received :)

  It's not possible to dynamically change IP addresses when doing load balancing for proxies.  It's just too hard to implement correctly.
