Extra sockets got opened just fine, I see that with lsof/fstat here.
OK. But I'm not aware of any change in any code which will limit the number of sockets.
2.1.12 has not this issue with same Perl.
OK. The rlm_perl module changed. It added some locks to avoid issues with Perl Clone and threads. Maybe you're running into lock contention. i.e. it worked in 2.1.12 by magic, because thread-specific structures were not locked properly. Adding locks makes it *correct*, but at the price of performance.
Yes, that's a lot. That reflects high load we may have. We do not want to queue requests that may be processed in parallel.
Queuing requests for a short time shouldn't hurt anything. DHCP clients will wait ~8 seconds for a response. Is your load really that high? i.e. how many packets/s does the server receive? How long does it take to process one packet?
We use syslogd's facility to send logs to remote log collectors using traditional syslog protocol (udp/514). Can "linelog" module do that?
Yes. Alan DeKok.
