My response_window = 50 > zombie_period=20. So, after 20 seconds, my radiusxx Freeradius must consider it dead, and then, I think that Freeradius can proxy the request until the response_window = 50 time gone. Maybe I'm mitaked, so I would like to know how if I'm in an error.
You are mistaken. Server will be considered dead for requests *recieved* after the zombie period. It doesn't apply for ongoing requests.
Ok, thanks
When a home server does not respond to an Access-Request, the proxy process has failed and the default behavior is to reject the users Access-Request. ... You can lessen the impact of a dead server by using type=load-balance instead of fail-over for the home server pool.
Why is lessen the impact using load-balance?
The idea is that only one will die at the time. Fewer request go to the dead server before it's marked dead - fewer rejects and retries.
Ok, thanks again.
In 2.1.6 the server can be configured to not respond when it does not receive a response from a home server. This will cause the NAS to retry the request multiple times, which will eventually cause the proxy server to send the request to the alive home server. Let me know if you want to try this and I can send an example configuration.
Yes, I want to try.
It's there already, you just need to use the policy. See do_not_respond in policy.conf.
Thank you very much Ivan.
