The only reason for ghost records in RADONLINE is missing Stop records. In
other words, you got a Start for a session and either never got a Stop (it got
lost) or the NAS never sent one. Generally the NAS will keep resending radius
packets until it gets a response or gives up (this is configurable in the NAS).
You could try a tcpdump or equivalent packet sniffer to verify whether the
packets are on the wire - if they are you should try to find out why they
aren't getting to Radiator (or aren't getting processed if they are). If the
packets aren't on the wire, you will have to find out why the NAS is not
sending them.
