Multiple instance of custom attributes ACS 5.x

Question

Hello,
is there a way to have multiple instances of user custom attributes and
insert those as multiple instances of the A/V Pair in the authorisation profile in ACS 5.2/5.3 ?
Background:
We have to migrate a ACS 4.2 to 5.3.
In ACS 4.2 our client used the multiline attribute
Number
Name
Description
Type of Value
Inbound/Outbound
Multiple
22
Framed-Route
Routing  information to configure for the user on this AAA client. The RADIUS  RFC (Request for Comments) format (net/bits [router [metric]]) and the  old style dotted mask (net mask [router [metric]]) are supported. If the  router field is omitted or zero (0), the peer IP address is used.  Metrics are ignored.
String
Outbound
Yes
to specify multiple routes to various networks in the RADIUS reply spcific for every single PPP username of routers dialing in.
Using the internal user database, extended by a string attribute and using that attribute as source of a dynamic value
in the access-policy works basically.
But as I have only ONE single line instance of the attribute for every user, I can only return ONE framed-route.
We have lots of cases where multiple routes have to be assigned to one router.
I 'd like to avoid defining a seperate access profile for every remote RAS router for external PPP Dial-In...
I Think Jack here https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2032506 has a simmilar issue...
Any idea?
Thanks, Frank

I had to do this once and I created several custom attributes
-Route1   (String)
-Route2 (String)
-Route3 (String)
etc ...
And in the authorization profile you return all those custom attributes as Framed-route. I was actually sending up to 10 Framed-Routes contained in 10 different attributes.
