Hi

 

I am trying to set up the radius server so that it forwards all accounting packet to a remote radius server without having to wait for reply.

 

I set it up using the copy-acct-to-home-server, proxy.conf and detail files in the modules directory.

 

I’ve got one problem however, whenever the remote radius server becomes unavailable and then comes back up, my radius server stop forwarding and never marks it as alive again.

 

At this point the remote server is marked as zombie, and remains marked as zombie indefinitely, even when it becomes reachable.

 

I am using FreeRadius 2.1.7 with the following parameters for the home server in the proxy.conf file:

 

       response_window = 8

       zombie_period = 40

       revive_interval = 120

       status_check = none

 

With these parameters I’m understanding that if the local radius server doesn’t receive an accounting response from the remote server before 8 seconds then it will mark it as a zombie, after a further 40 seconds it should mark it as dead. Then after 120 seconds it should mark it alive again, however I never see it being marked as alive again.

 

Is there something I’m doing wrong? Or an alternate option?

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Andrew
