  The answers are in the debug output.

  i.e. you didn't understand my question.

  The input packet is the Access-Request that is printed in the debug output.

  Does the debug output print something like "received  Access-Request"?

  Does the debug output print a list of attributes and values after that?

  Is one of those attributes NAS-IP-Address?

  If so, what is the value of NAS-IP-Address?

  No.

  That is the server LOADING the hunt groups file.

  If you READ THE DEBUG OUTPUT, you will see if receiving an Access-Request packet (SEE ABOVE).

  You will ALSO see it running the "preprocess" module.  The "preprocess" module will print out what it matches, if anything.

  Instead of listening and paying attention, you're arguing.  Stop it.

  You don't need to use %{...} for attributes in "if" conditions.  The examples and "unlang" documentation don't do this.

  That's something different.

  You can:

a) believe you got it wrong, and I have SOME idea what I'm talking about, 

  or

b) believe I'm an idiot and/or lying to you, and they you understand things better than me,

 Do you want to fix the problem, or do you want to argue about details?

  I just said you don't need to do that.  I just said that the documentation and examples don't do this.

  Again, you can LEARN from someone who's trying to help you, or you can reject my attempts to help you and fail to solve the problem.

  That's just not true.  If you do a google search (or even the wiki) for "FreeRADIUS huntgroups", you can easily find documentation.

  It's really simple.  You can either pay attention and fix the problem, or argue with me and don't fix it.  The choice is yours.
