it is so from the early implementation. Not sure how is with radius, but 
the reason phrase is also taken from acc_db_request() parameter (comment 
param) and stored in db.

you can account to both at the same time, but internally there is no 
such mechanism, although would not be hard to implement.

One more thing, if you use acc_db_request(), if that fails then you can 
call acc_log_request(), but I assumed you refer to usage of flags for 
accounting.

Cheers,
