    It's for a mail server cluster using postfix, courier-imap, and the like. The whole MTA system is MySQL driven.
      Well, it's going to be tough then. You'll have to write a multi-process daemon that understands the MySQL wire protocol well enough to modify incoming traffic and send it to the real server. You can look at DBD::mysqlPP as a guide.
      My trigger idea mentioned in Re: DBI/MySQL Proxy is sounding more and more attractive by the minute. Can your RADIUS servers be modifed to use a backend database? Or can you import the RADIUS information into your database?
        I wish I could- the RADIUS server is an token authenticator. One time passwords type of deal.
