Access Control Lists can be configured on an account by account basis in
RADIUS. 
Check the docs with your particular flavour of the radius server.

I believe Livingston Portmasters support this as well. A majordomo mailing

 com> is a good reference for RADIUS and
in particular Livingston gear.

Adam.
