To clarify this more, the *server* does not have to support it.   
Essentially COA turns the NAS into a pseudo RADIUS server and you must  
use a client side app to generate RADIUS requests to make the COA  
changes.  Typically this is not the function of any RADIUS server to  
handle internally.  Generally it's does with a 3rd party or RADIUS  
client utility to generate the COA packets and send them to a NAS with  
dynamic-author configured.   Works like a charm.
