proxy.conf timing and fail_over

[Drew Flickema]

I am simply not successful in getting fail_over to work running FR 0.8.1 in 
proxy mode.
My authorize section lists the following in the given order

preprocess
suffix
sql
files
This particular user I am testing will auth via files.

I have a realm configured as two separate line items in the proxy.conf file 
with each item "pointing" at a different Radius server which are running 
Cistron.  I have also specified the "ldflag = fail_over" for both line items.

This is the top of proxy.conf

# proxy.conf - proxy radius and realm configuration directives
proxy server {
        synchronous = no
        retry_delay = 30
        retry_count = 2
        dead_time = 600
        servers_per_realm = 15
        default_fallback = yes
}
max_request_time = 30
delete_blocked_requests = no
cleanup_delay = 10
max_requests = 512000
reject_delay = 1

proxy_requests  = yes
$INCLUDE  ${confdir}/proxy.conf
When I stop the first Radius server, it appears from the debug logs on the 
Radius proxy,  I have 4 of 5 auth requests still proxied to the first 
radius / per dial up auth request.  I allow the connection to redial itself 
after a 40 second delay, then I still have another 4 or 5 auth requests 
proxied again to the first server.

I never really see the first server as being marked dead and attempts to 
contact the second server.

Hints are welcome.
Thanks,
Drew
