However, there are some things you can do to improve at least perceived performance: 1. Configure two copies of Radiator - one listening only on the authentication port and only doing authentication, and the other listening only on the accounting port and only doing accounting. This makes the authentication much more responsive and lets accounting take as much time as it needs. 2. Add additional machines to do some preprocessing - if you are doing lots of proxy requests, you can add a machine in front of your local machine to handle all the proxy requests (and of course proxy your local requests to the local machine). 3. Add multiple parallel Radiator hosts, configured identically, and put a UDP redirector in front of them to spread the load. 4. Refer to section 23 in the Radiator 2.15 reference manual for more suggestions. hth Hugh -- Radiator: the most portable, flexible and configurable RADIUS server anywhere.
