Hello, I have a pair of FreeRADIUS (2.2.5) servers acting as load-balancers for a pool of authentication servers behind them that has been running flawlessly for about a year except for one thing. When I look at the list for my auth servers using radmin I get the following: radmin> show home_server list 10.0.0.100 1812 auth alive 150 10.0.0.101 1812 auth alive 223 10.0.0.102 1812 auth alive 130 10.0.0.103 1812 auth alive 114 Where I believe the last column is the number of outstanding requests for each home server (please enlighten me if I am wrong about that). Now the problem I have is that that last number (of outstanding requests) never goes down significantly. It fluctuates a bit during the day, but the trend is clearly up. This morning it was showing the following... radmin> show home_server list 10.0.0.100 1812 auth alive 140 10.0.0.101 1812 auth alive 220 10.0.0.102 1812 auth alive 109 10.0.0.103 1812 auth alive 114 And yesterday it was radmin> show home_server list 10.0.0.100 1812 auth alive 102 10.0.0.101 1812 auth alive 30 10.0.0.102 1812 auth alive 78 10.0.0.103 1812 auth alive 75 And last Friday one of the counters hit 65535 and all proxying to that home server stopped even though it was still responding (and was marked “alive”). I believe that counter is incremented once every time a request is proxied and (should be) decremented every time a reply is received or it times out. It does look though like there may be a case where the counter is not decremented. So my questions are: 1. Do I understand this correctly? 2. Is this a known issue? 3. If so, is it fixed in the latest of v2? or v3? 4. If it’s not an issue, what could I be doing wrong? I have no problem with the answer being “Upgrade” as long as I know that this is something that is indeed fixed in the version I’ll be upgrading to. These servers have performed so well up to now that I have not had a compelling case for upgrading. This could be just it.
