Sorry I wasn&#39;t more clear.<div>I am not using 1.x but most of the documentation refers to how things were done in 1.x and because of this means nothing to me.</div><div>I am not using syslog.</div><div>Accounting packets are being written to disk using the detail function.</div>

<div class="im"><br>
&gt; I am in the process of setting up radius for accounting of voip records.<br>
&gt; Due to the nature of my system blocking must be avoided at all costs.<br>
&gt; With this in mind I have configure FR to write accounting records<br>
&gt; locally to a file then I have the records proxied to a remote freeradius<br>
&gt; instance where the  records are written to a database.<br>
&gt; My question revolves around best practices and speed.<br>
&gt; Reading and shipping the records off box is very slow ( somewhere around<br>
&gt; 5 - 10 records per second ).<br>
<br>
</div>  You&#39;ve configured the server to use syslog.  Don&#39;t.  Syslog on some<br>
systems is limited to 5-10 log entries per second.  This is because it<br>
syncs the logs to disk after each line of text.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; I believe this may be caused by the latency between the proxy and the<br>
&gt; master which is around 150ms.<br>
<br>
</div>  No.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; Of course I could just insert the records in the DB across the WAN but<br>
&gt; am not sure whether this would be any faster.<br>
&gt; I&#39;m convinced latency is the issue because even when I turn off the<br>
&gt; databasing of records on the master and only write to flat files the<br>
&gt; speed remains in the same range.<br>
