  That is how Acct-Type works.  Only Autz-Type works differently.

  You can fix this with configurable failover, I think.  2.0 allows
simple "if/then/else", which lets you do:

 foo  # sets return code
 if RELAY {
	radrelay-detail
 } else {
	detail
 }
 ...

  The "if" works only for module return codes, so it will be awkward to
get it to work.  But it should work after a bit of poking.
