VOPRadius does use sql it puts its accounting records directly into 
our billing package rodopi
I see what you are getting at is Basically both use the same sql and 
sync up their records
Yep, though  I'm not sure how VOPRadius generates it's accounting 
records, but you may need to modify the insert queries in FreeRADIUS to 
adjust for the VOP schema , and alter which attributes make up the 
unique ID.

Of course the best solution would be to find out why for 2% of packets 
your NAS is sending the accounting data to the secondary... Is the 
primary under much load ? could it be network timeouts ?

    The issue can only be NAS side, accounting packets are completely
    disconnected from one another, the only thing they share is a
    session ID
    (included in the packets) , which FreeRADIUS uses to correlate the
    start
    stop and interim update packets.
If VopRADIUS can use SQL as an accounting database , you could point
    them both at a single database instance. Theres no reason why stop,
    start and interim packets couldn't go to different RADIUS servers.
