I have a local module here which blindly sends out an extra copy of an accounting packet to target host(s) you specify, without waiting for any acknowledgement. We use it for teeing off accounting to various packet shapers. Because the module doesn't maintain any state, i.e. wait for acknowledgement or resend if no ack received, it's very lightweight and there are no queues or buffers to overflow. I can probably get permission to release the code if you're interested. Regards, Brian. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
