hi, my intend was to setup 2 freeradius server, both server have to local its own mysql-db. both mysqlserver are used to handle all 3 kinds of "aaa". the replication for accounting data is done with radrelay, this works very fine. but now there is this problem with the potentiality breakdown of a mysqlserver. if iam handling this like you said, then i couldnt log accounting data, in cause of the radrelay i think, accounting data would be logged twice. is there no easy way to come around this circumstances? i use the mysql for all accounts only the DEFAULT entry is in the USER file. thanks for any hints! regards, christian - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
