  OK...

I know it sounds weird, but when a pin reset event occurs it involves a second request and that request may originate from the other NAS so when the securid module goes to lookup the existing session from the session tree it fails because the IP is different.

  So edit the rlm_securid module to *not* use the IP address?  Just poke the securid_session_cmp() function.

Long and short, is there a way of retrieving the details of the configured NAS clients from within a module?  I don't think there is, and worst case I'll ask the client to set an attribute that marks the packet as trusted and retrieve it as it passes through the module.

  You have the source.  Edit it?
