Yes, by default radpwtst will send three requests as above.

Yes, you can do this with Handler's:
<Handler Acct-Status-Type = Start>
.....
</Handler>
<Handler Acct-Status-Type = Stop>
.....
</Handler>
There may be a better way to do this depending on your exact requirements. We
can discuss this further if you wish.

Have a look in the dictionary file for the list of attributes, and in
Radius/Radius.pm for the list of constants defined as above.

You must also specify AccountingTable in your configuration file if the table
is something other than the default "ACCOUNTING":
<Handler ....>
<AuthBy SQL>
DBSource ....
DBUsername ....
DBAuth ....
AccountingTable SOMEOTHERTABLE
AcctColumnDef ....
</AuthBy>
</Handler>
You can verify what is going on by running radiusd with trace level 4 to see
what is happening:
radiusd -config_file ..... -trace 4
let me know how you get on
