Yes I did its added..  
Mybe its just the fact I am using the ntradping to test with and not throwing enough attributes for it to start logging correctly on the primary  
maybe if I wait till someone actually its it again from a real client it will give me accurate results

Have you added the secondary server as an authorised client on the 
primary ?

Ok so your acct host would be the address of your primary radius server. 
You'd also need to add your secondary server as an authorised client on 
your primary, and setup a shared secret between them.

You'd then add this line to accounting users

DEFAULT Proxy-To-Realm := "globalco"

Peters solution is probably more what you looking for though, and like 
he said it does have the advantage of being able to que up accounting 
packets if your primary goes down, so no data is lost.

Just proxying means you only have to worry about one process, and it's 
slightly neater.
