FreeRADIUS server can be used to send Disconnect messages and COA-Requests
and can do retransmissions.

In v3.0.x HEAD we added the capability to send CoAs/DMs directly to a 
NAS using the control:Packet-Dst-IP-Address attribute, and to read CoAs
using the detail reader.

We also added the ability to define coa home servers using clients by 
adding a coa_server definition to the client section.

client test {
	ipddress = 192.168.0.1
	secret = testing123

	coa_server {
	}
}

It means your Java application could write out CoA or DM packets in string
form to a flat file, and have FreeRADIUS handle the encoding, and 
retransmission.

The format would be:

Packet-Type = Disconnect-Request
User-Name = <user>
NAS-IP-Address = <ip address>
Acct-Session-ID = <acct session id>
<new line>

Then in the server you set: 

update control {
	Packet-Dst-IP-Address := &NAS-IP-Address
}

The detail reader now also marks up completed entries, so if the server 
restarts no duplicates are sent.
