It is indeed an interesting note, thank you for telling. It would tend
to indicate that both mechanisms are wanted, right?

Note that although I think RADIA needs some more design work (e.g. how
the RADIUS security is handled) I believe it is useful. It simply solves
a different problem than the translation mechanism. I think both
approaches are useful, and my initial comment was only that I don't see
the benefit of discarding the translation mechanism.

I'd like to ask: "prove it" if I dare ;) We are using it (in a very
small environment, agreed) and it works quite well...

Best regards,
Sebastien.
