Aborted when seeing Failing proxied request

[Lai Fu Keung]

Hi,

I am evaluating v3.0.7.

When running as a daemon, every time when I saw the following "Failing proxied request" message in the radius.log, the radius daemon aborted immediately.

Tue Mar 10 16:51:43 2015 : Proxy: Marking home server x.x.x.x port yyyy as zombie (it has not responded in 30.000000 seconds).

When running in debug mode, freeradius process never exited. The "Failing proxied request" message was still occasionally seen in the debug output. But it then followed with the received status-check response message and continued (see last 3 lines):

(365) No proxy response, giving up on request and marking it done

I guess it was due to a difference in timing when waiting for a status response from home servers. I tried different parameters in proxy.conf, but in vain. Can anyone suggest what parameters to adjust in proxy.conf? Or is it just a bug?

Thanks in advance.
