Well, the RADIUS draft does not say that a radius server cannot do
whatever processing it likes (such as resolving DNS references) before
passing the string to the portmaster. Ben could add that into radius
easily enough. It kind of rubs me wrong though, since a DNS lookup can
take a while, and the less radius has to do the better.
