Freeradius Proxy

[Tharka Karunanayake]

Hello all,

I have setup a freeradius proxy server and proxied my radius requests to two different freeradius servers. everything is working fine except for this error,

Thu Jan 23 16:01:08 2025 : Proxy: Marking home server 3.147.84.26 port 1813 as zombie (it has not responded in 30.000000 seconds).

My two servers are keep getting zombie and alive. But all the requests getting back to my two servers. How to resolve this issue?

These are the things I have tried so far,

1. add a custom radius reply to my accounting handling perl script
$RAD_REPLY{'Acct-Status-Type'} = 'Interim-Update'; ------- did not work
$RAD_REPLY{'Reply-Message'} = 'accounting received'; ---------did not work

2. add a reply from sites-enabled/default
3. tried to reduce/remove attributes for proxy.conf for accounting related home_servers

I really appreciate any help you guys can provide me.

Thanks,
Tharka
