FreeRADIUS 1.1.6 & max_servers

[Dow, Corey]

Hi there, 

I'm using freeRADIUS 1.1.6 and am authenticating users via NTLM to AD.  From
time to time, radiusd stops authenticating connections and I see in
radius.log that the maximum number of threads has been reached:

Fri Jun  8 13:55:54 2007 : Info: The maximum number of threads (32) are
active, cannot spawn new thread to handle request
Fri Jun  8 13:55:59 2007 : Error: Discarding duplicate request from client

Fri Jun  8 13:56:26 2007 : Error: Discarding duplicate request from client
nm5406-10:1025 - ID: 230 due to unfinished request 215

Most of what I have been able to gather seems to indicate that this is
because of a 'slow' server.  I seem to be hitting this even with a very
quiet test environment, and only a handful of supplicants. 

I can't reproduce this at will, and would appreciate any suggestions to
correct. 

Thanks in advance,
Corey
