Sorry - perhaps instead of "catchall" the correct term is "fall  
through". You will find that if one auth method fails you can "fall  
through" to another. The final auth method being the catchall which  
would authorize regardless of password. Here you would allocate the  
radius group which inturn is allocated an IP from a pool which then  
can be redirected in squid to your "suspended users" page.

This works for me and hope it helps you.
