[Chilli] accounting for walled garden

[Timothy White]

Awesome!

Thanks for this. I've been intending to write a patch for some time to
exclude walled garden data from accounting (currently have a patch
that I posted some time ago that excludes the server's traffic from
the accounting).

I've looked at the code a few times, but wouldn't have made it as good
as it sounds like you are going to do. How far through the coding have
you gotten? Is it going to need RADIUS to reply to control the
behaviour, or are there going to be chilli options that define what
the default is and RADIUS to change from the default?

Thanks

Tim
