 I am also wanting to know how the calculate the new specs for the new

Any ordinary PC will do fine. The number of req/s will likely be
limited by the backend database.

If your NAS supports several Radius servers, I wouldn't do any clustering,
but run them in parallele adding each server's IP in the NAS config.
It will detect when a server is unreachable and switch all traffic to other
servers.
Problem with LVS is you become dependant on your OS.
If your NAS does not support multiple servers, I'd go for LVS or Heartbeat

Freeradius Clustering

2007-10-15 Thread Fred Zinsli
Hello everyone

Sorry if this has been covered, but I have googled without finding.

I am looking to replace our current servers and am looking to 
reconfigure the network.

I am wanting to know if Freeradius can be clustered? and if so can 
someone point me to some documentation on the subject.

I am also wanting to know how the calculate the new specs for the new 
servers.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Fred

Hi,

high availability clustering is possible with Linux-HA (heartbeat). It can 
cluster everything what starts with an init script.
