Attempt to re-authenticate at the end of a session

Hi guys,
Is it possible in coova to try and re-authenticate a given client at the
end of their session?
Reason I'm asking: we have customers who get a free bandwidth allocation
and over and above that they have to pay. In order to improve the
service offering it would be nice to prioritise the paid traffic over
the free one but the only way I can see that being done is through the
conup/condown scripts which unfortunately cannot work during a session
(only at start and stop). Therefore I can only distinguish between free
and paid traffic by using two distinct sessions and therefore I'd like
one session to smoothly take over from the previous one (free allocation
used up => free session stop => reauthentication => paid session start
=> traffic prioritisation => paid session stop => undo traffic
prioritisation)
I remember looking into this re-authentication stuff quite some time ago
but cannot remember the specifics and cannot find related config options
in the Coova documentation...
