Error: "Discarding duplicate request..."

[Alan Buxey]

2.1.3 is very old now , 2.1.9 is current and has many fixes over that - check its changelog .. this error message suggests that you've got a slow backend somewhere - be that ldap, sql or even a bit of perl

Our students have returned this week, and I've noticed a couple new
messages logged to my FreeRadius 2.1.3 server. When it happens, my
controllers fail over to the secondary Radius server. This has happened
a few times. My Radius servers are only lightly loaded, and only
configured to do authentication. No databases. Any idea what might be
causing this?
