I think I would use the "divide and conquer" approach. With recent versions of
Radiator (latest is 2.16.1) you can now seperate processing functions into
multiple instances of Radiator, so you can do something like this:
# First copy of Radiator, running Authentication only on port 1812
.......
AuthPort 1812
AcctPort
.....
# Second copy of Radiator, running Accounting on port 1813
......
AuthPort
AcctPort 1813
.....
# Third copy of Radiator, running Accounting on port 1646
......
AuthPort
AcctPort 1646
.....
This setup with three copies of Radiator will also improve performance, as the
Accounting processing overhead is removed from the Authentication processing.
