I've just installed latest fr2.1.10 stable, and testing the stock robust-proxy-accounting. It looks as if when all home servers are down, the detail file is continuously replayed over itself, causing new attributes to be appended on each poll and rapidly increasing the size of the detail log, and other obscurities like Packet-Transmit-Counter being re-set as it thinks each re-play is a new proxied packet. In rlm_detail.c:479 if (request->listener->type == RAD_LISTEN_DETAIL && strcmp(((struct detail_instance *)instance)->detailfile, ((listen_detail_t *)request->listener->data)->filename) == 0) { RDEBUG("Suppressing writes to detail file as the request was just read from a detail file."); return RLM_MODULE_NOOP; } It looks like in the example config, detail-%Y%m%d:%H is used on the detail writer, and detail-*:* is used on the detail listener, which wont match above? So short-term workaround is to just use a single detail file.
