I think you're confused.

Idle-Timeout serves a specific purpose; it tells the NAS to disconnect 
the client if the client is idle for a certain amount of time.

It's nothing to do with stale/dead accounting sessions.

I've already spelt out the options there, and they revolve entirely 
around trying to make your accounting robust, and dealing with the edge 
cases where it is not.

To repeat:

1. Have two RADIUS servers, and have each NAS talk to both
2. Setup robust accounting->SQL on both RADIUS servers - see the example 
configs that come with the server for this
3. Use interim accounting
4. Use a script to expire sessions without an update in X*interim-interval

That should get you pretty much all the way there.
