Radius proxy

[srithar jeevadurai]

Dear Friends,

I have a basic question on proxy impl of freeradius. I am new to radius
proxy impl. so I have few basic queries.

--------------               ----------------------------------
| Radius  |               |  Radius Home 1 to n  |
| Proxy    |   <===>  |                                |
--------------                ----------------------------------


Radius proxy is one instance of radiusd binary and each home server (1-n)
is one instance of radiusd binary. so totally n+1 radius binary will be
running on same host if we go with proxy approach.


Proxy server while doing load balancing, does it follow below rule?

If a session's first request i.e. auth has been forwarded to a home server
1 then all subsequent request of  same session will be forwarded to same
home instance of home server or it will be forwarded using round robin
style.

If it is round robin and we are using a customized module to trace sessions
then it would not work since session created with home server 1 and sub
sequence request for the session may go to another home server.

Please correct if my understanding is not right.
