I have a redundant radius server setup with two radius servers. On each of the servers freeradius 1.1.1 and mysql is running. If the primary server goes down the AC falls back to the secondary server. To keep the databases (except the radacct table) synchronised I use MySQL replication. But I'm not sure which is the best way to replicate the accounting information: using radrelay or mysql-replication, too?
I would suggest radrelay. The reason is that (in DB terms) it uses a journal of what has to be replicated: RADIUS packets.
Besides the man page for radrelay says "The functions of radrelay have been added to radiusd". I couldn't find any documentation about this feature. Any hints?
It shouldn't say that in the 1.1.1 release. radrelay should still be there. Alan DeKok.
