Hi Alan, Thanks for your response. Alan DeKok wrote:
You can configure the proxy to log accounting packets to disk when the home server is down. See raddb/sites-available/robust-proxy-accounting
Ok I will definitely do this then.
Fri Mar 19 17:30:54 2010 : Proxy: Failed to create a new socket for proxying requests.
Why is it running out of sockets? This shouldn't happen.
Not sure but there is a _lot_ of attempted proxying going on - maybe it just went over the system limits like open file limits or something? In any case it probably won't be a problem when I implement the robust-proxy-accounting.
You have a NAS which is sending large amounts of traffic to a proxy when the home server is down. The proxy isn't configured to do anything useful with the packets. This is a bug in the *architecture*.
Understood. Thanks for your help Alan. Regards, Anthony
