I had a similar problem, but not on this scale. I noticed that for each
login to my hiperarc, I got 2 starts and 2 stops when the user logged
out. I fixed this by not setting any accounting secondary_servers. I
ended up setting my primary server and the first backup to the primary
server and leaving the rest of the accounting fields at 0.0.0.0. Since I
have 2 radiators, this works well.
