This is probably a stupid question but whay not log the accounting directly to the sql via the sql module?
Reasons :- I am logging to MSSQL and I have tried in the past to do it directly, I find that the stability is POOR and reliability is NOT ACCEPTABLE. For example, the sql driver does not reconnect upon failure. I tried fixing it myself but I also faced other weird problems which are difficult to troubleshoot. Also per record logging is way too slow to cope with the speed I am looking for. I am in fact using the TDS BULK INSERT mechanism for insertion. It is much much faster than per record logging. All in all, I find that logging to database via radius server directly is a bad design, more so for a heavy radius server with lots of traffic, and worse if it is across the network (WAN!) , due to network instablity, database server load conditions etc etc etc. Cheers
