Hi,
This still means that requests will be sent to that home server,even if they're for an upstream realm that's dead. If there are multiple paths to the upstream realm, then those other paths won't be discovered.
But there is no RADIUS "routing protocol"[1]. So that's that.
s'funny that you should mention that - what with a hierarchical system. I thought it would be neat if a downstream system could notify the upstream about what realms it could deal with and - via a trusted and encrypted channel - thus no more manually adding new records to higher tiers for new realms dealt with.. much like advertising routing space via BGP or OSPF still. that'd be a new RFC for sure ! :-) alan
