Currently we are using freeradiusd to proxy / load balance requests to our backend radius application. However as I'm sure many of you encounter there are times which require maintenance / upgrades of the backend servers, what is the "best practice" in regards to putting home_servers into maintenance so that freeradiusd doesn't attempt to send traffic to them?
I'm not sure if there is a simple command we can run? Or is the only option to comment out the home_server from the home_server_pool and then kill -1 to the radiusd process?
You might want to consider an alternative deployment, we use anycasting and found it very reliable and far easier to maintain: http://www.digriz.org.uk/ha-ospf-anycast Make sure there are at least two L3 hops between RADIUS servers.
