Yes I have read the clients.conf file and I saw the domain name in there.

In between my testing the line went down and came up with a different IP - which was not allowed. I guess the only way forward (untill 6-8 months pass) is to restart the radius server at 1:00 in the morning with a cron job - the dsl line's ip's change at midnight. This will be a horrible fix - any more practical suggestions would be much appreciated > RADIUS doesn't handle dynamic IP addresses for clients yet. Maybe > in 6-8 months there will be a standard.
