Thanks for the response, I've created a couple named sql instances, but 
I'm not sure how to configure one nas to use one instance and the other 
nas to use the other instance.

It seems pretty straight forward to use one instance for auth and 
another for accounting, but I did not see an example or documentation on 
how to associate a sql instance to a nas. If you could point me in the 
right direction I'd appreciate it.
