Free Radius Proxy implementation Assumptions
Dear Friends, We would like to know following detail for freeRadius proxy implementation. *Arch of Proxy implementation :* on Host1: 1 Proxy server will be running and takes request from NAS server. Behind the proxy server, we are planning to have pool of home servers (4) on same host (i.e. Host1). *Our Assumptions:* 1) Proxy server will not store any request that is coming from NAS server (i.e. storing request in processing queue). 2) Proxy server will do asynchronous request-response processing. 3) Multiple home servers (Radius stack) can be running on same host (by changing server port for each home server). 4) The synchronous request-response processing will happen only at home server level. Kindly request you to let us know whether our above assumptions are correct. *Proxy implementation approach: * - Load-balancing. Requests are split evenly among all home servers in the pool. Do we have any document to implement above proxy-home server set up ? -- Regards, Srithar Durairaj Alternate Mail I.D: srijeevadurai1@yahoo.co.in Mobile: +919886251852
Hi,
Behind the proxy server, we are planning to have pool of home servers (4) on same host (i.e. Host1).
why one host? just have one server.
3) Multiple home servers (Radius stack) can be running on same host (by changing server port for each home server).
why? just have one. alan
Hi Buxey, We need to run multiple for load balancing on same server. There is a restriction that when proxy server routs a account start for a session to a home server (in load balancing), Does it forward all subsequent accounting request for the session to same home server (in a pool of home servers)? Because Home server (customized module of our application) maintains session detail and rejects any request if the session is not opened with the home server.

All of this is documented in raddb/proxy.conf.
on Host1:
1 Proxy server will be running and takes request from NAS server.

That is generally a poor design. There's just no reason for it.

Tons. It's just a proxy. There's nothing special about using 127.0.0.1 instead of a different IP address. Alan DeKok.
