either the address as its seen by the internet (its 'WAN' address if
connected directly and no NAT etc) or you can use a large wildcard to match
any of the addresses it might get from your ISP - this can be found
be eg checking whois for your IP range and looking at IP records.

personally, I'd prefer to route the RADIUS packets via VPN so that your
client is not only known, but the RADIUS stuff is a little more
secured...and you'd then come in via a trusted route and not expose
your RADIUS server to the world...
