If the NAS supports this via RADIUS atributes, yes. However, this
is a NAS implementation features that doesn't have anything specific
to do with RadiusNT. For example you can define the DNS servers in
the PM's global config which it will pass. I believe an Ascend
can use either RADIUS or it's global config for this. It really
varies per NAS and is something you'll have to ask you NAS vendor
about.
