Hello everyone Sorry if this has been covered, but I have googled without finding. I am looking to replace our current servers and am looking to reconfigure the network. I am wanting to know if Freeradius can be clustered? and if so can someone point me to some documentation on the subject. I am also wanting to know how the calculate the new specs for the new servers. Many thanks in advance. Regards Fred

Hi, high availability clustering is possible with Linux-HA (heartbeat). It can cluster everything what starts with an init script. -- Dr. Michael Schwartzkopff MultiNET Services GmbH Addresse: Bretonischer Ring 7; 85630 Grasbrunn; Germany Tel: +49 - 89 - 45 69 11 0 Fax: +49 - 89 - 45 69 11 21 mob: +49 - 174 - 343 28 75 mail: misch@multinet.de web: www.multinet.de Sitz der Gesellschaft: 85630 Grasbrunn Registergericht: Amtsgericht München HRB 114375 Geschäftsführer: Günter Jurgeneit, Hubert Martens --- PGP Fingerprint: F919 3919 FF12 ED5A 2801 DEA6 AA77 57A4 EDD8 979B Skype: misch42

I'd suggest to use LVS (Linux Virtual Server) in a "direct routing" setup. See: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/VS-DRouting.html

Any ordinary PC will do fine. The number of req/s will likely be limited by the backend database. -- Nicolas Baradakis
If your NAS supports several Radius servers, I wouldn't do any clustering, but run them in parallele adding each server's IP in the NAS config. It will detect when a server is unreachable and switch all traffic to other servers. Problem with LVS is you become dependant on your OS. If your NAS does not support multiple servers, I'd go for LVS or Heartbeat David Roze --- http://www.netexpertise.eu -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces@lists.freeradius.org] On Behalf Of Nicolas Baradakis Sent: 16 October 2007 11:59 To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: Freeradius Clustering Fred Zinsli wrote:
