Hi, load-balancing between the radius servers is not necessarily needed. I think the servers we're going to by will be capable to manage all dialin accounts. So the radius servers will be in fail over mode. If the first one is up, all requests will be handled by it. If it fails, the second one

two DB servers, both DB have to have the same data. So you have to solve the access concurrency firstly. Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 10:20:44 +0100 Subject: Re: Radius Load-Balancing concept From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org Hi, load-balancing between the radius

But will I get any trouble if both servers write their accounting data into the same database? No. Do I need to setup radrelay? Is the second radius server able to take over if radrelay isn't running? Yes, it will take over as NAS starts sending packets to it. No need for radrelay. Ivan Kalik

Hey Sebastian, I am unsure what your end goal is but consider the following: The FreeRADIUS serves will be load balanced by something like LVS, where you'd have a single IP address shared by both servers, requests will go through either of them (not both). Or you can go for the fail-over

I'm doing this with no problem. I have 2 freeradius servers both writing/reading the same dbms I have split my load up so some NASes use one radiusd as a primary and the other as the secondary. Then reversed that role for other NASes. It gives a nice balance and if one were to fail, they just

Hey Sebastian, I think that you are making a rather not too complicated task very complicated with your view of the clustered solution. First you should decide what you want to load balance, the freeradius servers, the database servers or both? I also don't understand the need for some NASes
