  There is no way to log random things into the main log files.  There rarely any need for it.

  If you want to log the output of sqlippool, you can add your own attribute into raddb/dictionary:

ATTRIBUTE SQL-IPPool-Success 3000 string

	...
	sqlippool
	update control {
		SQL-IPPool-Success := &control:Module-Success-Message
	}

 That saves the message into a place where it won't get modified.  You may need to grab the *last* success message with:

	...
	sqlippool
	update control {
		SQL-IPPool-Success := &control:Module-Success-Message[n]
	}

  Then, just use the standard (and documented) logging mechanisms.  See the "log" section of radiusd.conf:

log {
	...

	auth_goodpass = yes
	msg_goodpass = "SQL module says %{control:SQL-IPPool-Success}"
	...

}

  That's it.
