That sort of thing - though this requires that I know what all the attributes are.
Of course it’s my config, so I do, but I’d like to be able to just say “stick all the reply attributes in here” or something. Otherwise I have to have some logic to test for existence of each one, then include each instance of it, etc. etc.
If I was proxying I would not know what all the attributes are - in my use case I’m not proxying, but I could imagine it would be useful for others.

I’m not above doing a patch to rlm_rest to be able to include the request/reply/control attribute lists rather than packet->vps - assuming that that’s not a crazy bad idea for internal reasons I don’t understand.. Thoughts?
