  Huh?  You want it to *fail* accounting?

  That is wrong.  Delete that, and change it back to the default
configuration.

  Read raddb/sites-available/default.  Look in the "accounting" section.

  If you had left the default configuration alone, and just added a
"DEFAULT" realm, then proxying would have worked.  Butchering the
default configuration is bad.  Not reading the comments in the default
configuration is bad.

  Don't break the server.  Read the documentation.
