  Huh?  You're saying that the NAS rejects the user because it can't
send an Accounting-Request packet?  That's broken.

  No.

  (1) Your SQL server seems to have problems.  32 queries/s isn't a lot.
  (2) Your NAS seems to have problems.  Users should NOT be rejected
because it doesn't get an accounting response packet
  (3) Even if it *did* prioritize accounting responses, all you would be
doing is trading off rejecting one user for rejecting another user.

  Something is broken in your system.  It's not FreeRADIUS.
