Re: post-proxy and detecting dead upstream realms

      Hi Phil,

Sorry I cannot help with evaluating the code, but I've got a question...

I'd like to do something like this:
pre-proxy {
  update control {
    Tmp-Integer-0 := "%{some_scoring_thing:%{Realm}}"
  }
  if (Tmp-Integer-0 > 10) {
    reject
  }
}
post-proxy {
  Post-Proxy-Type Timeout {
    some_scoring_thing
  }
}
The idea is that I have an upstream proxy (eduroam) with potentially
hundreds of realms behind it. Some realms just don't respond, and when that
happens above a certain threshold, I'd like to locally blacklist the realm
and avoid sending them to the upstream proxy for some time period.
Why do you care if the realm doesn't respond?

Thanks,
