Re: backup radius server

[Edgars]

Ok, i found it out with backup freeradius, it really should be done on 
the NAS side.
So the next question is about backup postgresql database.  I've added 
these strings to radiusd.conf:

modules {
   sql sql1 {
     server="myfirstserver.example"
   }
   sql sql2 {
     server="mysecondserver.example"
    }
    always handled {
     rcode = handled
   }
 }
 accounting {
     redundant {
       sql1                  
       sql2                  
       handled                                          
     }
 }

Is that all i have to add to teach freeradius to look after 
mysecondserver.example in case of firs one's fail?

Hello list!
how do i proceed with subj? I want to send the request to backup radius 
server in case the main one is down (or the username coul not be found 
on it). Should i use proxy.conf to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance!
   

I think you are more looking at the configuration of your NAS than
RADIUS server.
We operate 2 pairs of RADIUS servers here.  If one server is unavailible
then then NAS tries the other server itself.  

I think on Cisco kit you simply add an extra RADIUS server entry. 
(Depending on your config and auth groups etc)
