Hello Everyone, I'm stepping into the world of Freeradius for the first time - holy shit is there a lot to learn.
Anyway, I've been wondering how many servers are required to have a proper (i.e. no single point of failure) on the freeradius side of things. I know that I can have one freeradius server proxying requests to any number of authorization and/or accounting servers - great. But, what if I don't want to proxy and only want two freeradius servers that do auth, and two separate servers for accounting? I can conceptualize a cluster or even simple fail over using heartbeat for the database bit. What I don't understand is how the failover and load balancing is done on the freeradius level (i.e. for auth) and still enter a single IP for freeradius on the NAS. Am I supposed to configure a virtual server on the first freeradius server, copy the config to the second machine, and then use that virtual server IP on the NAS? I don't get it. I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.
