Forwarding accounting Data to another radius Server for HA

[Daren Hendricks]

Hi,

Thank you,I have looked into using rlm_replicate but I do not seem to be
coming right. Below is what's in proxy.conf


home_server rad01 {
        type = acct
        ipaddr = 192.168.25.126
        port = 1813
        secret = testing123
}

home_server_pool otp0 {
        home_server = otp1
        home_server = rad01
}
home_server_pool acc1 {
        home_server = rad01

}
realm acc_realm {
        act_pool = acc1
}
