Ultra-simple configuration

I'm working on a homebrew enterprise-level VPN solution and was
wondering if I can use freeradius in some limited capacity. The reason
I'm emailing/asking is because the configurations seem so rich and
complex, I'm concerned that the very simple role I need it for will be
hard for it to squeeze into. All I need it to do is to perform VPN
tunnel authentication (XAUTH/PAM, L2TP, etc.) with a very few simple,
static (/etc/passwd) users at the local level, then proxy up for anyone
else to our global RADIUS cluster (which I don't own - I've never set up
any RADIUS stuff before).

Can I get it to do this without going into all the incredibly complex
inclusions/exclusions/authentication methods that are in the example
configs? If it can, can anyone point me toward some resource that
covers a less feature-laden config? I would really appreciate it.
