from what I've seen on the lists, sqlippool is full of bugs and holes. If you're planning to put it into a production environment, I'd strongly suggest booking a coder for a couple of days :-) Such is the nature of open-source I guess.
<br><br>There is no other truly feasable way of leasing IPs over multiple servers, other than Rsync'ing the pool files, or manually assigning different RADIUS servers for different pools - the second means that you are basically splitting your system into multiple independent groups - several NASes to one RADIUS server. However, both of these are hacks.
<br><br>I'm using rlm_ippool at the moment on a multi-nas basis, as I have had both two NASes getting IPs assigned to users from a single shared pool, and also one-pool-per-NAS. Both work fine.<br><br>It's your choice really - you can always just use one-pool-per-NAS and manually assign each NAS to a RADIUS server responsible for maintaining the pool, while you're getting sqlippool up to production standards.

<p><font size="2">Hi folks.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm looking into ways to implement a "global address pool" for multiple NASes and multiple RADIUS servers.<br>
<br>
I see that there's 2 possible ways of doing it with FreeRADIUS.<br>
<br>
1) use rlm_ippool<br>
2) use rlm_sqlippool<br>
<br>
I'm leaning towards rlm_sqlippool since it can be used to "lease" an address to a subscriber for a period of time<br>
so they get same ip address for the duration of the "lease".<br>
<br>
Is there any other ways to implement NAS independent address pool and be able to "lease" same address to a subscriber ?<br>
<br>
Is anyone using sqlippool in production ?<br>
<br>
Thanx<br>
Paul<br>
