No Reply Proxy for Accounting Requests
Does anyone know how to configure a proxy for the forwarding of no reply accounting requests? In particular I am interested in accounting start/stop packets. Thanks,

What does "forwarding of no reply accounting requests" mean?
In some versions of RADIUS it is possible using the proxy feature to forward accounting requests to a home radius server or some other 3rd party server without having to wait for a response packet. Typically this is accomplished by configuring an attribute (ie. IgnoreAccountingResponse) in the proxy section where the forwarding server is instructed to not wait for a reply. I have examined the proxy.conf file and there appears to be no equivalent functionality in FreeRadius. Is this true? Is there a work around?

I'm not sure at 100%, but I don't think it's possible with FreeRADIUS. I'd suggest to log accounting in a file with module rlm_detail, and write a little program to send the accounting data (without waiting) to the 3rd party application. You may look at src/main/radrelay.c and doc/radrelay. radrelay can replicate accounting data but wait for an answer, though. Nicolas Baradakis -- A: Yes.
Q: Are you sure?
A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
