Thanks for your response Ivan & Alan, Im finally starting to understand 
how they fit together :)

I started implementing this but ran into a snag Im not sure which is the 
correct way to get around.

As I mentioned all my clients reside in the nas table of my database, 
and my sql.conf has readclients = yes to load them from there.

When I attempt to define the above client so that I can set the 
virtual_server parameter, I get the following error (obviously...)

rlm_sql (sql): Adding client primary_server_ip (Primary, server=<none>) 
to clients list
Failed to add duplicate client Primary
rlm_sql (sql): Failed to add client primary_server_ip (Primary) to 
clients list.  Maybe there's a duplicate?
Failed to load clients from SQL.

To resolve this should I now remove the primary server from my nas table 
as I am defining it in the clients.conf ? Or is there a way to leave it 
in the nas table and assign a virtual_server directive to it?

Thanks for the time and patience
