[VPN] Cisco 3000 VPN Concentrators and RADIUS -- Assigned IPs

If I create a 'Local' user on a Cisco 3000 Concentrator, I can assign it a
specific IP address.  The problem is there is a limited number of local
users/groups that can be created on the device.

If I create a 'Local' group that is authenticated via an external RADIUS
server, I have an unlimited number of clients, but I have not found a way
to assign static IPs.  I've only been able to have them use the dynamically
assigned pool.

Q1)  Can you configure a RADIUS server to hand back an IP address with the
     approved authentication request.

Q2)  We are using FreeRADIUS on Linux with a MySQL backend tied to the
     CryptoCard admin software.   Assuming the answer to Q1 was yes, is
     it possible to do it under this specific configuration?

Thanks,
Dave Goldsmith
