Radius Load-Balancing concept

[Sebastian Ganschow]

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 will take
over.

But will I get any trouble if both servers write their accounting data
into the same database?

Do I need to setup radrelay? Is the second radius server able to take over
if radrelay isn't running?

Regards
Sebastian
