hello,
I have a redundant radius server setup with two radius servers. On each of the servers freeradius 1.1.1 and mysql is running. If the primary server goes down the AC falls back to the secondary server. To keep the databases (except the radacct table) synchronised I use MySQL replication. But I'm not sure which is the best way to replicate the accounting information: using radrelay or mysql-replication, too?
My last experience with MySQL master-master replication and FreeRADIUS was that mysql corrupted my radacct table within 24 hours. This was 4-5 years ago, however you have to understand the constraints of databases and the fact that sql replication is a "hard" problem. radrelay on the other hand is easy and works perfectly!
Besides the man page for radrelay says "The functions of radrelay have been added to radiusd". I couldn't find any documentation about this feature. Any hints?
regards, olaf
