I like your example …:


    recv Access-Request {
    subrequest dhcp {
    update request {
    Request-Packet-Type := Discover
    }
    dhcp
    switch &Response-Packet-Type {
    case Offer {
    update parent {
    Framed-IP-Address := &DHCP-Your-IP-Address
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }


Nicely represents the intent of the author of the configuration. I assume that the update there could add values from the parent request into related DHCP attributes. It is also obvious that straight RADIUS proxy is trivial to write in that form without any special magic. Something like this would be really obvious to even a first time reader of a freeRADIUS configuration.


Recv Access-Request [
subrequest radius {
update request {
// Copy required attributes from inbound request
}
radius
switch &Response-Packet-Type {
case Access-Accept {
update parent {
       // Copy out anything we need to in the reply
       }
       }
}
}
}
