Hi,
I Had the same issue, search the list for "how to deal with this" as 
subject and you will get the full thread, in a nutshell an option that 
may help you is that your NAS should use Acounting On/Off packets in 
order to let FR know that all those sessions went down. I think this 
should be ok in case you have a single NAS.

Regards,
Ezequiel.
