Tobias,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the reply.</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding the attr plugin only supporting IP addresses, phew - I had looked a few times at that code and compared it w/ the docs and thought I was just missing something that would allow arbitrary values through.

</div>I looked into that and it seems the attr plugin only supports IP<br>
addresses and subnets as values (i.e. no strings or ints). The attr-sql<br>
plugin [1] supports more types, so that might be worth a try to avoid<br>
having to change the code.<br>

<br>
</div>No, the changes to pluto look fine. Whether the value is correct I<br>
don't know, but racoon at least uses the same.<br>
<br>
Are you sure the iPhone actually supports this attribute? I'm not sure<br>
but I suppose Apple uses racoon in iOS, which actually ignores this<br>
attribute when used as client. At least by default, could be that they<br>
somehow added support for it, though.<br>
<br>
