  There's not a lot of documentation on "how to do coding in FR".  That being said, this shouldn't be terribly difficult.

  Your module can detect that the packet is Status-Server by looking at

	request->packet->code == PW_CODE_STATUS_SERVER

  See src/main/stats.c for some sample code which look for attributes, and then creates attributes in the reply.
