First, thanks to Ivan for help with Simultaneous and to Dennis with indexing.
I am new to radius, please bear with me. I will try to describe the problem as much as I can. I need to ask if anybody has experienced a problem with DB handles. Here is what we have experienced a couple of times. Both NASes Cisco talk to 1 radius (there is another radius, but it was set up on NASes as a secondary radius). Many connections drop at the same time on 1 or both NASes and try to reconnect. Radius did not get a proper disconnection, therefore sees many users connected with Stop = 0. All Simultaneous Logins are set to 1, so radius checks if users are connected on NAS. Below is what I find in radius.log.

[user '', nas '216.145.96.1'] I have increased num_sql_socks to 10. Is it a reasonable number? Or this does not help with this problem and I need to look more into finding and fixing it. And/or NASes problem? Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you for your help in advance. Irina ==================== - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
