Can we do sql just once during eap-tls handshake

We are using eap-tls for authetication assisted with a database for filling
in some attributes.
FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.3 with minimal configuration will do a sql lookup for
each round.
(Four selects: radcheck, radusergroup, radgroupcheck and radgroupreply).
There are 6-9 rounds depending on certificate chain sizes.
Obviously performance would be better with only one database lookup.
Part of the (attempted) configuration:
authorize {
preprocess
eap
if (I have tried some conditions here) {
sql
if (notfound) {
fail
}
}
}
authenticate {
eap
}
Is there som nice condition that will result in only one lookup in the
database?
A thing that complicates thing is that TLS (that declares Success I beleive)
is run during
authenticate which is later the the attempted database lookup.
The TLS outcome is pretty well known in the second last round:
There are logs saying
[tls] (other): SSL negotiation finished successfully
SSL Connection Established
but there is still one Access-Challange.
So if this fact could be tested in the last round that test would be a nice
candidate for
doing the sql update.
As an aside: Is there a way to really inspect the client certificate
(preferrably the entire chain)
and let it affect some logic (in perl as an example)?
