Duplicating Accounting Requests / accounting to multiple locations

[Florian Lohoff]

Hi,

i'd like to forward accounting requests to multiple locations. We use radius
accounting not just for billing/accounting but also monitoring, tr069
configuration and other stuff so we need multiple locations to send the
information to.

I have found the home_server_pool stuff but the policys avail show only
load balancing or destination hashing which is not what i'd like to have.

A "duplicate" policy would be what i was looking for. Acknowledge the
packet to the sending NAS and sending requests to all final systems
and waiting for their acknowlegde. A limit in queue or storage capacity
would be acceptable e.g. max 1000 requests outstanding and front dropping
afterwards.

I have found the "copy-acct-to-home-server" virtual site which makes me
wonder about the imposed delay by writing the accounting records to disk
and reading again for forwarding. Sounds like a strange solution - a bit
like UUCP store and forward copy ...

Flo
