I strongly discourage you from running Oracle replication (or any other database replication out to POP locations). There are several reasons for this including: bandwidth - SQL takes far more bandwidth than Radius, security - keeping secure data at more than one site becomes a serious problem, and reliability and performance - database replication is a very hard thing to do. You are *much* better off to put Radius servers at your POP locations, but configure them to run as Proxies back to your main site. Radiator allows you to both cache Proxy replies (for redundancy) and to write accounting data to a local file (for data coherency). This is a far easier approach to manage. At your main location I would suggest a set up with two Radiator hosts outside your Firewall (one as primary and the other as secondary) each one running the new load balancing code in Radiator 2.18 (out very soon). Then you would have a minimum of two Radiator hosts inside the Firewall, each one talking to your main SQL host. hth Hugh -- Radiator: the most portable, flexible and configurable RADIUS server anywhere.

Our radius servers running Linux & MySQL / Linux & Connecting to MSSQL have up to 300 days uptime, and would have more if it wasn't for a power outage before we had a generator. -Original Message- From: Jeremy Burton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 5:00 AM To: Sudjiwo Husodo Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (RADIATOR) Oracle on Sun or Linux?

Re: (RADIATOR) Oracle on Sun or Linux?
We are running a smaller setup, about 10,000 subscriber in only one POP for 99% on-line wireless connections (not dial-up), meaning, mostly long connections (but when the NAS falls for some reason and comes back alive again, we have hundreds of requests all at once). We are using radiator on a netra t1, openldap 2.0.7 in another netra t1 for most authentications (there is also ipass, but it's very seldom used), and mysql for accounting on yet another netra t1 (the session database is on the same radiator host, also with mysql). The accounting database is not actually used for accounting (for now, they are selling flat fee connections), but only for debugging and incident tracking, and quering it sometimes bogged down the server. Radiator has been running for 4 months wihtout a hitch. It NEVER went down, we upgraded from 2.16.3 to 2.17.1 and changed the configurations several times (from enabling/disabling a trace 4 to changing the logic of the config file), and it NEVER failed. We do all the testing before going live on an intel box with RedHat 6.2 on it and that never went down, either, anyway, that box never had real load. Just my 2cents...
