Actually I should of mentioned that ... all of our DNS and RADIUS servers
are within our local ethernet network, and the radius client file has
the IP address of the portmasters instead of the hostname's. Unless you
are thinking of something else ... It's not really a problem, because
we hardly ever go offline (knock on wood), but when we do, we handle
hundreds of "Why isn't my password working?" calls ..
