I want to implement a RADIUS load-balancing and failover scenario using FreeRadius and Cisco ACS. The idea I have in mind is to have these two servers answering to RADIUS requests in a round-robin fashion and should one of them for some reason go down, the other one would take care of answering to the RADIUS requests.
You will need a load balancer in front of the two servers.
Have any of you implemented such an scenario, using FreeRadius together with another RADIUS server from a different vendor? If so, what are the main problems you found doing this (incompatibility, high-maintenance costs, effort, etc)?
I'd be very glad to hear from you as to why such an scenario make/doesn't make sense.
I don't see why you would put two different servers into one load-balance pool. And even worse, pairing a horrible server with a great one! Alan DeKok.
