Was there any final word on the direction of this and when it might be
available?
Thanks.

Just a side note on the clone packets issue i ve come across it in
another situation. We act as a proxy for various ISPs and we need to
have a way to replicate accounting-on/off packets (which obviously
don't carry a [EMAIL PROTECTED] attribute) to all ISPs. But currently
this is not possible since we have a server logic of one request,one
thread. Being able to use multiple Proxy-To-Realm attributes would
be great.
I think the easiest way to do this is to write a special-purpose 1-N
proxying server. It's special purpose enough that I'm not sure that
work belongs in the server core. i.e. Doing N proxies means what,
exactly for pre/post-proxy sections? Do we add a queue of proxied
packets to the REQUEST?
The 1-N proxying server can look for special "proxy to X" attributes
in the packet, strip them out, and proxy the packet to N different
places. It can even read proxy.conf, so there's one source for
configuration files. With a little more work, it can also read the
"detail" files, and be radrelay, too.
Being able to selectively replicate an accounting packet N times may not be a
standard configuration (although certainly usefull) but proxying
accounting-on/off packets to some/all downstream servers is something that
almost _everyone_ proxying accounting will want to do. This probaby warrants
a new config option in proxy.conf (acctonoff-shotgun=yes/no)
In particular any downstream servers running ippools need this information...
Not to mention people who charge by the minute for a particular service..
Cheers
