Hello Chris,

How often the Mac address change status ? How they change status / VLAN ?

You could export the Mac addresses from postgresql and import them in PF.

As is, we don’t do external call during the authentication process because it 
will create issue if the external service fast enough.

I think it will be better to sync the data set.

Thanks,
