I think that you are going about it the wrong way. You wont proxy to pretend that home server has not gone down. How about this - instead of a group of stand-alone load-balanced home servers create a (true) high availability cluster. If your home server is always available this issue doesn't come up. And your customer always gets a response. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
