Have a small question regarding MaxTargetHosts in AuthBy Radius.
Will this limit the number of hosts ask regardless of the hosts status or if
the hosts is unavailable for the moment will the request continue on without
counting it against this counter ?
A working Host is looked up first and only those that should be working
are counted against MaxTargetHosts limit. In other words, it doesn't
count Hosts that are unavailable.
Say I have MaxTargetHosts set to 2
Host 1 - is unavailable/down
Host 2 - is available - doesn't respond (request ignored)
Host 3 - is unavailable/down
Host 4 - is available - responds with a reject
Will it ever reach Host 4 as long as MaxTargetHosts is set to 2 ?
It will reach Host 4. Hosts 1 and 3 are never considered.
Hosts 1 and 3 are immediately skipped until the failure backoff time or
Status-Server brings them up again. If you see different results, please
let us know. It should act as a limit of trying hosts that should work.
With a number of retries and multiple hosts, the eventual response may
come long after a client has already given up when some hosts should be
working but they don't respond.
Thanks,
Heikki
