I've just pushed changes to v3 which lets you use radmin: radmin> set home_server state <ipaddr> <port> [udp|tcp] down which marks the home server as "down", and does not try to revive it. it can only be revived with: radmin> set home_server state <ipaddr> <port> [udp|tcp] alive That should make some things simpler.
