Well, IOS likes to be more of a RADIUS client, not a RADIUS server... so
it basically avoids authorization request processing and just forwards

There are always many ways to skin the cat, and you can usually almost

have to live with supporting, troubleshooting, managing and scaling the
network accordingly, which (depending on your situation) could be very
cumbersome.
