  Yes.  The oracles are things like Kerberos, Active Directory, or a
proxying to another RADIUS server.  There is nothing in the RADIUS
Access-Request that tells the server to use an oracle.  There is nothing
in a DB that tells the server how to authenticate the user.

  So the server has to be explicitly told "use this oracle".

  Yes.
