To identify double logins on a multi server environment you have to keep the accounting information synchronized. I strongly recommend radrelay, it works great, it can cope with server delays/downtimes and since it sends radius accounting packets, the synchronization is not limited to mysql but to the whole accounting system (rad_counter, rad_utmp etc). And it's very easy to setup, just run radrelay on both your radius servers (if you have two). Read doc/radrelay for more information. Use the latest CVS version, it has many fixes and works very nice (we are using it on a multiserver environment with 100000 sessions/day). > > the next question i have is that i dont know how to cluster the mysql backend, > cause mysql replication works only oneway, and the radius cant announce new > sessions to both of the mysqlservers. iam right in thinking that i can only > backup my system with the replication or only use mysql for authentication on > both mysqlserver but session handling have to be stored in one mysqlserver? > maybe someone can tell me something about good clustering of freeradius with > mysql? > > > thanks in advance, > christian > > - > List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
