The only catch is that AuthBy SQL will open a connection to the database
when it starts up and keep that connection up unless there is a problem with
it so your round robin DNS will not do much. AuthBY SQL supports declaring a
database to use as a backup which may be a better scheme for reliability. If
you are looking to load balance among your databases I would run a Radiator
instance for each database instance and then proxy requests to them using a
main instance with AuthBy ROUNDROBIN or AuthBy LOADBALANCE.

Subject: (RADIATOR) Authentication to one DB, Accounting to another
Just want to make sure I'm not totally out in left field on how to
accomplish this, I thought I'd ask. We just recently setup MySQL
Replication.. and I'd like to make our Radiator software use the master
and slaves for authentication (just using DNS round robin atm).. but
since only the master can receive updates, I'd like to make sure the
accounting packets only go to the master.
I'm thinking I need to make the configuration look like this, but please
let me know if I'm totally off base:
AuthByPolicy ContinueAlways
AuthBy SQL
DBSourcedbi:mysql:radius:Slave Hostname
DBUsernameusername
DBAuthpassword
# Setup Authentication
AuthSelectselect ENCRYPTEDPASSWORD, REPLYATTR from
AUTHENTICATIONTABLE where USERNAME='%U'
AuthColumnDef0, Encrypted-Password, check
AuthColumnDef1, GENERIC, reply
# Disable Accounting
AccountingTable
/AuthBy
AuthBy SQL
DBSourcedbi:mysql:radius:Master Database
DBUsernameradius
DBAuthcsrox
# Disable Authentication
AuthSelect
# Setup Accounting
AccountingTable ACCOUNTINGTABLE
AcctColumnDef USERNAME,User-Name
AcctColumnDef TIME_STAMP,Timestamp,formatted-date,'%Y%m%d
%H:%M:%S'
AcctColumnDef ACCTSTATUSTYPE,Acct-Status-Type
AcctColumnDef ACCTDELAYTIME,Acct-Delay-Time,integer
AcctColumnDef ACCTINPUTOCTETS,Acct-Input-Octets,integer
AcctColumnDef ACCTOUTPUTOCTETS,Acct-Output-Octets,integer
AcctColumnDef ACCTSESSIONID,Acct-Session-Id
AcctColumnDef ACCTSESSIONTIME,Acct-Session-Time,integer
AcctColumnDef ACCTTERMINATECAUSE,Acct-Terminate-Cause
AcctColumnDef NASIDENTIFIER,NAS-IP-Address
AcctColumnDef NASPORT,NAS-Port,integer
AcctColumnDef FRAMEDIPADDRESS,Framed-IP-Address
AcctColumnDef CONNECTSPEED,Connect-Speed
/AuthBy
Thanks a bunch in advance. Sorry if this has already been covered on
the list, took a look but perhaps my search techniques are in need of
improvement :)
