Hi,
Is there any other way to do this??? suppose i have hundreds of NAS, how their requests can be sent in parallel, to different FR??? Is FR support such a mechanism without using REALM and PROXY??? If yes.,........ what is it???
1) why would you want to send a request from a NAS in parallel to different servers? that is just asking for major problems
2) what NAS kit are yu dealing with? Can this kit not do its own load-balancing?
3) are you simply balancing realm targets? - why just one proxy anyway? that would be single point failure and bottleneck. have multiple proxies
alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
Thanx alan, now we are aligned :)
1) why would you want to send a request from a NAS in parallel to different servers? that is just asking for major problems I dont want to do this,,, I just want that requests from NAS (Their are thousands of NAS, which send requests for AAA to FR) should be distributed among many backend Free Radius servers.
2) what NAS kit are yu dealing with? Can this kit not do its own load-balancing?
No it didnot,
3) are you simply balancing realm targets? - why just one proxy anyway? that would be single point failure and bottleneck. have multiple proxies
Yes this was in my mind, so further research cleared me that a NAS have some backup server IP's (may have multiple backup IP's that can be used if a proxy server become down). So i can configure multiple Proxy servers, which are load balancing among same Freeradius servers. hopefully u understand the scenario.
