Question - in order to get some basic fallback running, I was thinking about setting up some kind of mechanism where one FreeRadius was operating in proxy mode, querying our two radius servers, and in case both failed to answer, would deliver some kind of fallback authentication (like, always OK but with a 30min connection time or so) ... can this be done?

In this way you create a single point of failure in the form of the proxy server. A better solution would be to configure your nas to ask two radius servers in a failover scenario. On each radius server you could configure a fallback authentication (redundant section with your favorite user db and a files module instance) and everything should work ok.



Tnx, -gg
