[rbak-nsp] Subscriber bulkstats

[Jim Tyrrell]

We could and we do to some extent - but the Radius accounting is not 
very granular at all as its hours between interim records.  We could 
send more regular updates but I'm concerned that Radius is going to get 
very busy if we do that - and the Radius accounting backend database is 
already straining with many millions of rows each month.

I was hoping bulkstats would provide more detail without strain on the 
SE800 and other services.

Ian - I will try your config and see what I get - thanks.

Jim.
