Hi Alan,

Thanks for your reply.

My use case for this is that I have a database lookup in the post-auth
section, and if the database connection fails I need to return no
response so that the NAS will send its request to the other RADIUS
server which has the backup database.

Is there another way to do this from the post-auth section? I can't
move these checks into the authorise section as they have to run after
authentication. What do you think about adding support for this?
Could you point me in the appropriate direction to implement this if
you'd accept such a patch?

Thanks,
Geoffrey.
