How to proxy accounting requests to multiple destinations

Fri Sep 4 00:42:11 CEST 2009

Yes, this has also been my assumption and I've tried this but I've failed 
in making both instances proxy the packet.
There must be something I'm not getting because I don't see how I can
have two realms with one pool and home_server each in proxy.conf and match
the accounting packet against both realms?

Currently I'm testing with this line in acct_users:
DEFAULT        Proxy-To-Realm := "myrealm"

I suspect you'll need to treat it like two unique servers, and create two 
(2) copy-acct-to-home-server instances (or double up the entries in the 
one).
Unless I'm mistaken, you'll also need two detail files for the relaying of 
the information.

Hi again,

This subject is misleading and should rather read: How to proxy an 
accounting request to the same destination twice

I've now also tried with robust-proxy-accounting but it only sends to one of 
the home_servers.

Any advice or pointers in the right direction will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I'm running FreeRADIUS 2.1.6 on FreeBSD 7.2 and I need to proxy incoming 
radius accounting requests to two different ports at the same destination 
ip. I'm quite inexperienced with freeradius and I'm not sure I've understood 
completely what I need to do.

I've set up realms, home_servers and home_server_pools in proxy.conf.
I've also made two instances of copy-acct-to-home-server in /sites-enabled 
and an extra detail file in a separate directory, which one 
copy-acct-to-home-server reads.

With the configurations I've made accounting requests are being proxied to 
one port of the destination ip, and the debug output reports for the second 
instance:

[suffix] Request already proxied.  Ignoring.

Am I correct in the assumption that I need to rewrite the accounting packet 
so it will be allowed to proxy again? How can I achieve this? Or is there 
another way to do things?

I'm also puzzled by how I can send to two different home_servers when the 
packet will of course only match one realm?
