I am so happy to see that radrelay has been ported over to FreeRADIUS. This is a great help for managing multiple radius servers with a single SQL-enabled accounting server. There is still a weakness though, unless someone can point out the solution that I'm overlooking.
My primary RADIUS server is attached to the database. When my SQL server becomes unavailable, FreeRADIUS shuts itself down and the backup radius server is left to fend for itself. In an old patched up version of Cistron I used to use, if the SQL server would disappear, radiusd would log the accounting requests and apply them when it came back up. This is sort of what radrelay does, except as far as I can see, it doesn't prevent the primary radius server from dying when MySQL goes away. Before I go off and reinvent the wheel, can anyone tell me if the functionality we used to use with Cistron either exists within FreeRADIUS, or is possible with radrelay? Thank you. -- Dan Roberts, Systems Engineer Voice 800.656.GWIS GWIS Internet Solutions Fax 330.656.5440 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
