  Yes.  It's not as easy as with a dedicated DHCP server.  You'll need
to split the packets, so that some use subnet A, and some use subnet B.
 Look at the packets (radiusd -X) to see how they're different.  Usually
there will be a gateway IP address different, or perhaps something else.

  It's probably best to use groups to assign the network parameters.
e.g. use the radgroupcheck and radgroupreply tables.  For users in group
A, assign them options for network A, and users in group B should be
assigned options in network B.

  i.e. separate the *common* configuration into group parameters.  Thenm
each user should have only user-specific parameters.  e.g. an IP
address, and a group membership.

  For v3.1, we're looking at maybe coming up with DHCP-specific queries
for SQL.  But getting help from other people would be useful, too.
