best performance alternative using multiple virtual server to bound IP/port

[Philemon Jaomalaza]

Thank for your Answer Alan, that's very clear.

I will use this option : 

define multiple virtual servers with one global "listen" section 
> IP/port for all virtual server

Thank's

  The server uses as much memory as it needs.  You can't really optimize memory usage as with a database.

  Performance is a little more complex.  99% of performance issues are outside of the servers control.  e.g. databases, certificate validation, etc.

  make sure all *other* systems are optimized, and FreeRADIUS will be fine.  The bottleneck is rarely FreeRADIUS.

  That's likely the simplest to understand.  It also means you can have different policies for each virtual server, if you need them.

  I wouldn't do that.

  That's simple (one virtual server), but the virtual server is more complex with if / then / else.  It works, but I wouldn't do it myself.
