Well, every given interval a query will run on the database server to get
the
list of nases and it will build a new linked list based on that and delete
the other nodes and free the pointers of those.

I guess that coming up with a method to check against each nas if it's
there or not, and to remove or add it based on a check is do-able
but would probably face some efficiency issues where-as I think it
would be proper to create a new linked list with whatever nases that
query returns and free the previous linked list from memory.

I haven't had a look at the relevant code but it seems quite basic
to implement unless I'm over-seeing some critical aspects :-)

I'll be glad to take a look if you can refer me to the current piece
of code where freeradius handles the nas lists read from the database
and stores them.
