How to set properly failover ?

[alexandre.chapellon at mana.pf]

This how I do, but it's not the only way and may not feet your needs:

In radiusd.conf, instantiate a redundant module:
instantiate {
...
      redundant ha_auth_name {
                ntlm_auth_vpn1
                ntlm_auth_vpn2
       }
...
}

In default sites config, section authorize

authorize {
...
      ha_auth_name
...
}


Quite simple and works great here for some other moduls (SQL)
Hope it helps.
