Dear friends,
I searched list archive, but I couldn't find anything about this. I need to correctly design and deploy a brand new FreeRADIUS server. It will receive about 25.000 simultaneous users, so I'm planning to have, at least, two servers.
My questions are:
1. What would be recommended server hardware (memory, disk, CPU, ...) and software (Linux distribution, kernel version, ...)?
Should be possible with off-the-shelve hardware. Some middle-class server should be enough.
2. How could I synchronize both servers' users? I mean, in the beginning, I'd have two separate /etc/shadow files but this is not scalable. I need to share a single file between both servers. Is it possible? How?
more than 10.000? You should use a SQL backend storage. use replication scheme of the SQL database. Or use DRBD to replicate disk partitions.
3. Any recommendations to the backup policy?
