  Honestly... just use rlm_sql_ippool.  It's better, and you can use standard tools to administer the database.

  Honestly, I'm not sure.  I haven't used the non-SQL ippool module in a long time.  We've even removed it in 3.1, because it doesn't make sense to have multiple implementations of the same thing.

  if you need a small on-disk IP pool, use rlm_sql_ippool, with the sqlite driver.  It does a lot more than the rlm_ippool module, and is more stable.
