thanx alan,, I have configured a proxy server using documentation of 'proxy.conf'. which is proxying requests to 2 home_servers. Yes you are right, may b the tool which I am using (Radius NT client) sending requests in series. I tried to use Rad Client to send requests in Parallel, but i wasn't succeed. Could you please help me out to send parallel requests to proxy server??? Bundle of thanks in advance :) On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 7:19 PM, Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com>wrote:

Hi, I am new to freeradius. I wantto implement load balancing on freeradius servers (not on backend database). I want that if a bulk of requests are received, these requests should be distributed evenly among multiple freeradius servers. Can any one please tell me, how could i achieve this goal.
The documentation is clear. Load-balancing is simple to configure. It's documented in proxy.conf.
My guess is your test is wrong. You're probably sending packets in *series*. The latency added by a proxy slows down series, so that it takes longer.
If you send packets in parallel, you would see a higher latency for each packet, but the ability to process more packets per second.
You've admitted to not knowing much about RADIUS. If the test doesn't do what you expect, the obvious conclusion is to blame the test, not FreeRADIUS.
