unlang or perl could do the length of password checking.  once you check
the length you set logically the current request using the 'update'
method as described for those other cases you've seen - ie you have
virtual realms that the end user doesnt enter themselves. then
in proxy.conf you simply say where those realms go to. and 'strip'
to ensure no wierd realm stuff might appear.
