proxy.conf in freeradius 2.1.1

[Olaf Gellert]

Hi,

I am just updating from an old freeradius (1.1.x) to a new
one (2.1.1). Currently we have old style entries in the
proxy.conf, some entries like:

realm DEFAULT {
        type = radius
        authhost = 111.222.111.222:1812
        accthost = 111.222.111.222:1813
        secret = whatever
        nostrip
}

The old radius gave us (from time to time) log messages like:

radius.log.6:Mon Sep 22 15:58:14 2008 : Proxy: marking accounting server
111.222.111.222:1813 for realm DEFAULT dead

Using the same configuration file (which should still be supported), we
get:

Tue Sep 30 17:19:28 2008 : Error: PROXY: Marking home server
111.222.111.222 port 1813 as zombie (it looks like it is dead).

For both servers (auth at 111.222.111.222:1812 and acc at port 1813)
it reports "Marking _home_ server", so does it not differentiate
between both? Or is this just an oversimplification?

Could someone spread some light how a new configuration (using
home_server and home_server_pool etc) should look like? In our setting
we use the radius for authentication of local users and we use two
proxies for users of other organisations (= two DEFAULT realms in
proxy.conf).

Thanks, cheers, Olaf
