Depends on what you want to do with the accounting data.  You might find 
that tracking your users when NAS-IP-Address is the same becomes really 
awkward[1].  Anything that keys off that attribute (such as 
Acct-Unique-Session-Id, as Acct-Session-Id is rarely unique) might cause 
your grief.

So, authentication should work...you might have some problems with 
simulateous logins *possibly* and your accounting records might be a 
pain to work with.

You need to define what 'work' means for yourself and decide from there.

Cheers

[1] then you hope your venduh lets you amend the NAS-Identifier 
	attribute
