  Oops.  It would be good if that had *some* documentation.

  See:

http://github.com/alandekok/freeradius-server/blob/4545d8ecd41cd798efc2fd75d86826c4f0e3fd40/raddb/sites-available/coa

  Put the file into raddb/sites-available/coa, and link it into
raddb/sites-enabled/coa

  Then, edit it to suit your local config.

  There's a sample "listen" section in the file.  Use that.

  Don't define a "coa_server" here.  It's not needed.

  That is for SENDING a CoA packet, not for receiving one.
