Hi Danial

Take a look at http://wiki.freeradius.org/Rlm_sqlippool

We developed it specifically for use with Ericsson and Cisco GGSNs and if you 
read the comments I wrote in the config file you will see exactly how to use 
the Calling-Station-Id (aka MSISDN/GSM Number) as the unique id...

You should also be able to figure out how to virtualise the whole thing to 
allow overlapping pools in different APNs ;-)

Cheers
