Without a debug output it's hard to tell. Please send freeradius -X output.

Hi,

 The server is basically proxying off auth requests to remote RADIUS servers. 
 Is the above just telling me that the other end is taking a while to reply or 
 is there some underlying issue?

what is your retry time set to on the NAS kit?  If your kit is expecting
a reply in eg 3 seconds...well, a remply from a remote site may take longer.

are you using status-server ? I would advise status-server usage
in the first instance to ensure that your RADIUS server knows the
remote RADIUS is okay and not the issue.

Yup I'm using status server.

in  local-config/nrps.conf I've now got

server_pool eduroam {
home_server = eduroam1
home_server = eduroam2
home_server = eduroam0
type = client-port-balance
}

and 

home_server eduroam0 {
ipaddr = ${eduroam_config.server0}
#ipv6addr = ${eduroam_config.server0}
secret = ${eduroam_config.secret0}
port = 1812
type = auth+acct
require_message_authenticator = yes
nostrip
response_window = 5
zombie_period   = 40
revive_interval = 60
status_check= status-server
check_interval  = 30
num_answers_to_alive= 3
……...
}

Hi,

 response_window = 5

thats a little low. the default provided with FreeRADIUS is 20 IIRC - and
you need to ensure that theres correlation with the NAS

If you can't reproduce it with -X, try with the -fxxl stdout incantation, -X 
will also force the server into single threaded mode, and this might be a 
locking issue.
