<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi, I have reading few posts that ask how to Load Balance Two or more FreeRADIUS servers, and usually the expert's (Alan and others) answer is to put a <span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">load
balancer</span> in front of the FreeRADIUS servers, I will trust you but I still have some questions about this:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1.- What <span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">load balancer</span> is recommended? I would suppose that not all of them will load balance the UDP RADIUS well, I see many appliance,
brands, etc.. just a thought</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2.- Will this scenario cover the fail-over part? when one of my two FreeRADIUS servers stop working, or restart, or crash will the load balancer appliance start sending packets only to the live server until it gets back up?<br>
<div><br>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2">
<div class="PlainText">3.- Isn't the load balancer a single point of failure itself? How is this potential problem usually addressed?<br>
</div>
