i don't believe so... radius was in development before the current Izz
internet flags came out... previously it was just whatever someone decided to
use (eg: BND, TEL, FTP)... this was then later consolidated so that all of
them start with I to indicate they are internet connection flags... radius
wasn't updated to handle the new flags or formats which allow for the domain
to be attached to the flag and/or an alternative port... the other two clones
of radius, argus and taurus, were each a bit better and offered new features
and fixed older problems but each still left things to be desired...

i've run all three of them before but haven't looked at them in years...
especially when their development stopped as those maintainers moved on... at
that time, i was fashioning and testing my nodelist entries to work with the
radius family... i did have some success but those flags changes were tough to
handle... i still have partially translated help for taurus on my web site,
IIRC... i converted the distributed help documentation to plain html and was
working my way thru it translating to pigden english and then the goal was to
go back thru it and clean it up to be better and more proper... it is quite
the task, that's for sure... i haven't touched it in a long while...
definitely not since the taurus maintainer ducked out and left :/
