In our case, we maintain the database and radius server. I believe the squid server (or proxy) will need to inject the 'http request header'. It would need to build the 'http request header' based on information it pulls from a database. I see that it does some request header manipulation already (mostly changing existing headers) and was hoping someone had used them in a similar fashion that I'm hoping to do. >>It may be that you haven't gotten an answer because >>other skimmed your post with same level of >>detail and re-wording would help :) Sometimes one is so close to the details that it's hard to put them all into words everyone will understand. I did attempt to do so. :) I do appreciate the feedback and nudges in the right direction. Hopefully with a few questions I can get all the information out there that is needed.

The header is x-msisdn. The value should be the subscriber's phone number (mdn). We have been unsuccessful at finding a good/solid solution for retrieving the mdn and inserting an http header. The mdn (in our case) is stored in a database, so the information is easily available.
