If RADIUS receives and ACCESS-REQUEST packet, but RADIUS does not authenticate against its own database but an external server, does it also send an ACCESS-REQUEST to the external server? And does the external server send and ACCESS-ACCEPT with REPLY_MESSAGE information If authentication is successful? Thanx. André Ferreira

If your "external server" is a RADIUS server, yes it does. This is called RADIUS proxying : the server acts as a client for another RADIUS server.
And does the external server send and ACCESS-ACCEPT with REPLY_MESSAGE information If authentication is successful?
What your external server does and returns is up to its configuration. -- Alexandre Coninx
