I have the (3.1.0) server up and connected to Redis and can submit a simulated request but there are no IP’s to assign.  I have tried following the help (-h) and man pages for the tool without success.  Debug output below.

  You've got to populate the redis database with IP addresses.  rlm_redis_ippool_tool should do this.  Try doing:

$ rlm_redis_ippool_tool -h

  You'll need to do "-a" to add addresses to the pool.

  i.e. you told it to read a bootstrap file, but not to *do* anything.  Again, read the output of "-h".

  You've asked it to print statistics about the pool.  Since there are no IPs in the pool, there are no statistics to print.

  Use "-a" to add addresses to the pool.
