I have asked and requested this many times. Every other NAS we have tested
has this setting, and PMs don't. It actually a hurdle if you are dealing
with Proxy situation, because going through another radius server, and then
getting back could be 2-8 seconds depending on the net and traffic. Livingston
REALLY needs to add this option in the PMs.
